HC Deb 19 August 1919 vol 119 c2154W
Lieut.-Colonel BURGOYNE

asked the Secretary of State for War how many commissioned ranks have as yet been sanctioned by the Financial Department of the War Office in the Tank Corps?

Mr. FORSTER

The permanent establishment of this corps is not yet settled, but five field officers, whose special experience it was dosirable to retain, have so far been given permanent appointments in it. I think my hon. and gallant Friend's reference to my Department must be based upon some misconception.
