Colonel A. Evansasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that during the battle in France the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps were armed 100 per cent., and, in addition, manned antitank rifles and machine guns of all kinds; and whether, in view of the corps' performance during this time, he will delete the word auxiliary from their title which has now no meaning, as such action would give great satisfaction to all concerned?
§ Mr. LawMy right hon. Friend is aware of the excellent services rendered by the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps, and he will consider the suggestion which my hon. and gallant Friend makes.
