HC Deb 23 July 1940 vol 363 c619W
Mr. Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider instituting in each command schools of instruction for junior infantry non-commissioned officers for intensive training under specially selected instructors?

Mr. Eden

Every infantry training centre has a class for the instruction of potential non-commissioned officers, and recruits who show ability during their training with this class are retained by infantry training centres for an additional period of one month for special instruction.
