HC Deb 18 July 1922 vol 156 c1928W
Major BARNES

asked the Secretary of State for War the cost of the educational establishments under the control of the War Office, giving the number of the staff employed, military and civil, for the years 1914–15 and 1922–23, respectively?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The numbers of the staff of the Army educational establishments provided in the Estimates of 1914–15 and 1922–23 are as follow:

1914–15. 1922–23.
Military:
Officers 234 384
Other ranks 807 1,744
Civilian:
Instructors 21 12
Others 742 1,358
The estimated cost in 1922–23 is shown on page 63 of the Army Estimates. I regret that the corresponding cost figures for 1914–15 are not available, as the Army Estimates and accounts were not then prepared in the present form.
