HC Deb 11 May 1938 vol 335 cc1594-5W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for War when facilities are to be provided for giving Army Reserve officers refresher courses, and will he expedite these facilities in view of their urgency if the Reserve is to be ready for emergencies?

Mr. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider granting facilities to officers on the Regular Army Reserve of Officers who wish to serve a short period of attachment with their units in order to keep themselves abreast of modem developments of organisation and equipment?

Sir V. Warrender:

At the present time the available facilities for instruction in military subjects are being used to their fullest capacity in training the serving personnel of the Regular Army, the Supplementary Reserve and the Territorial Army. My right hon. Friend will not lose sight of the possibility of providing facilities for officers of the Regular Army Reserve of Officers to attend refresher courses as soon as circumstances allow.
