HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c263W
119. Mr. Turton

asked the Secretary of State for War what percentage of officers in C.M.F. recommended by their commanding officers have been accepted by W.O.S.B.s for Regular commissions.

Mr. Bellenger

Applicants for Regular commissions are dealt with by Regular commission boards, and not War Office selection boards. I am unable to give the figure asked for in respect of C.M.F., separately, but in all theatres up to 30th June, 1946, those accepted numbered 2,415 and those rejected 3,558. Of those rejected, 800 cases are being reviewed, some of whom will be offered Regular commissions.
