§ Mr. J. Dugdaleasked the Secretary of State for War what percentage of instructors at infantry training centres have seen foreign service.
§ Sir J. GriggAs a general rule men are not brought back especially to be instructors. They are drawn from men who are repatriated wounded or under the Python scheme. Until recently the number coming home under these two heads was relatively small, and the proportion of instructors in this country who had not seen foreign service was correspondingly high. Precise information on the point raised by my hon. Friend is not readily available, but it is likely that by now about half of these instructors have seen foreign service and the proportion should increase further.
