§ Mr. C. WHITEasked the Secretary of State for War whether the Educational 387W Corps, attached to the 3rd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, is to be disbanded or reduced; and, if so, what compensation or gratuity is to he paid to the officers engaged in such educational work?
§ Lieut.-Colonel STANLEYOwing to the drastic reductions which, in the interests of economy, have to be effected in the personnel of the Army Educational Corps, it will not be possible in future to allot personnel to units. Officers and other ranks of the Army Educational Corps will therefore be attached to the headquarters of Brigades and Divisions and higher formations for duties in connection with educational training. With regard to the last part of the question, the general scale of retired pay and gratuities for officers compulsorily retired on reduction of establishment was published in Army Order 179 of 1922, of 11th May, which was extensively reproduced in the Press.
