HC Deb 01 December 1931 vol 260 cc950-1W
Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the inflow of recruits has been affected adversely by the recent reductions in Army pay?

Mr. COOPER

For reasons of economy it has been decided to restrict the inflow of recruits. Under the higher standards that are now in force the numbers recruited have been completely satisfactory.
