§ Mr. Garro Jonesasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give an assurance that the men who are being appointed as honorary welfare officers to the home commands are all men with previous practical experience of this specialised form of social welfare work; and whether they will be prepared to devote their full energies and time to such work?
§ Mr. StanleyWelfare officers appointed to commands at home have been selected in view of their previous practical military and civil experience of the problems involved. I am pleased to be able to say they are devoting much time and energy to their work, and already considerable results have been obtained from their labours.
