§ Sir C. Rawsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that a considerable number of applicants who wish to join an anti-aircraft unit have been re- 953W fused by the 57th Field Brigade, Royal Artillery, at the Drill Hall, Church Street, Brighton, owing to the absence of any provision being made in Sussex for recruitment; and whether it is contemplated making any change in this direction?
§ Sir V. WarrenderThere is at present no anti-aircraft unit in the neighbourhood into which such applicants can be enlisted. I would, however, point out that a very small number of vacancies exist in the 57th Field Brigade, and I hope that those whom my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind will not lose their chance of filling them before it is too late.
