§ Mr. BILLINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the gazetting of officers to the headquarters or the groups of the various Motor Volunteer Corps is delayed owing to the fact that no decision has been arrived at with regard to the interpretation 326W of the Army Council Instruction dealing with the reorganisation of the Motor Volunteer Corps; and, having regard to the dissatisfaction occasioned by this, will the War Office take steps to accelerate the decision?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONYes, Sir; there has been some delay, owing to the rapid expansion of certain county corps, which has necessitated the rearrangement of the headquarter establishments. As soon as the matter is settled, the gazetting of the few officers concerned will be proceeded with without further delay.
