HC Deb 01 July 1919 vol 117 cc787-8W
Captain HAMILTON BENN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether pro- vision has been made to utilise the services of the Corps of Army Schoolmasters in the educational training of the new Regular Army; and whether it is proposed to give a status to these warrant officers in keeping with the importance of the duties they are called upon to perform?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The Corps of Army Schoolmasters has always been utilised in the educational training of the Regular Army, and it is not proposed to discontinue this system. The question of the future status of Army schoolmasters is receiving careful consideration.
