HC Deb 31 March 1926 vol 193 cc2056-7W
Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of married officers of the Army who are on the lodging list, and what proportion this bears to the total number of married officers; and, if this information is not available, will he state the proportion of officers on the lodging list to the total number of officers?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The latest returns from Commands, dated November, 1925, show that there are 3,090 married officers on the lodging list, and this number represents 70 per cent. of the recognised married officers.
