SCOTTISH COMMAND STAFF.

HC Deb 16 April 1934 vol 288 cc731-2W

Mr. N. MACLEAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he will explain the necessity for retaining a Scottish Command of 38 staff officers, in view of the small number of troops stationed in Scotland?

Mr. COOPER

The retention of the existing staff in the Scottish Command is necessary to deal efficiently with training and administration. In addition to Regular troops, two Territorial Army divisions are administered and trained in this Command.
