§ Sir R. COOPERasked if a commission in the Middlesex Regiment has recently been given to a Mr. Ralph Lackman; if so, has the gentleman changed his name from Rudolph Lackmann, whose parents are living in Heidelberg; has he a half-brother serving in the German Army; and why is he given a commission in preference to members of Officers' Training Corps, many of whom have recently been forced into the ranks?
§ Mr. FORSTERIt has not been possible to trace any man of the name mentioned as having received a commission in the Middlesex Regiment or in any other regiment. If, however, my hon. Friend has any information he can put at my disposal I shall, of course, be glad to institute further inquiry.
