Mr. PIKE PEASE

asked the Secretary of State for War, what number of officers are now in the Ordnance College preparing for employment in the Ordnance Department?

Mr. HALDANE

There are eighteen officers studying in the Ordnance College. I have no information available to show how many of these are studying with a view to employment in the Ordnance Department as differentiated from other employments for which such a course qualifies them.
