§ Mr. H. MORRISONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that considerable dissatisfaction has been caused among senior officers of the Territorial Force at being asked to fill in Army Form B. 199a, owing to its length and inquisitorial character; and whether he will consider the question of having this form simplified?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo, Sir. I am not aware of the existence of any feeling of dissatisfaction nor do I consider that there are any grounds whatever for such a feeling. The form referred to is designed with the object of affording information which is required in the interests of both the officer concerned and the Army as a whole and is applicable to all officers of the Regular and Territorial Forces. I regret I cannot see my way to make any alteration in the form.
