HC Deb 20 December 1937 vol 330 c1619W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the Secretary of State for War whether in respect of Captain L. M. Ommanney, who put forward, in March, 1936, certain schemes and suggestions with a view to assisting recruiting in connection with reconditioning the unfit, any recognition of his services will be forthcoming, in view of the adoption, along somewhat similar lines, of a centre which is being established at Canterbury to deal with the reconditioning of the unfit?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Proposals for the special training of recruits to bring them up to the desired physical standard were under consideration by my Department before Captain Ommanney put forward his suggestions in March, 1936, for which he was duly thanked.
