§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Secretary of State for War how many commissioned appointments in the new Army educational corps will be allocated to members of the disbanded corps of Army schoolmasters; how soon the selection of candidates for such appointments will take place; and whether the proposed methods of selection will guarantee to Army schoolmasters, who were debarred from gaining promotion during the War the same advantages of 599W obtaining a permanent commissioned post as will be afforded to temporary education officers and instructors?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLUntil the Board of Selection, appointed to recommend applicants, has interviewed the members of the late Corps of Army Schoolmasters and the other candidates for admission to the Army Educational Corps, it is not possible to say how many appointments will be given to members of the disbanded corps. The Board of Selection has already seen a number of such candidates and will shortly interview the remainder. The answer to the third part of the question is in the affirmative.
