HC Deb 01 August 1940 vol 363 cc1419-20W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Standing Committee presided over by the Permanent Under-Secretary of State for War will be given facilities to investigate procedure not only in matters affecting commands and staff but also in matters affecting the administrative duties of regimental officers, with a view to relieving them of such office work as can reasonably be dispensed with?

Mr. Eden

It is hoped, as a result of the committee's inquiries to achieve the object which my hon. Friend has in view.
