§ Major NALLasked the Secretary of State for War whether county associations are being asked to nominate Territorial officers' from their own divisional areas for appointment as A.D.M.S. and D.A.D.V.S. in the manner adopted for the nomination of officers commanding combatant units?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAll Territorial officers selected for appointments as Assistant Directors of Medical Services of a Division reside within the Divisional Area to which they have been appointed, in order that they may be fully conversant with local conditions. Although county associations are not being asked to nominate officers for these appointments, all cases where officers have been so nominated have received sympathetic consideration. The foregoing also applies to Deputy Assistant Directors of Veterinary Servics, but the conditions under which they are to serve are still under consideration and consequently no appointments have actually been made.
