§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that there is dissatisfaction regarding the leaving of anthropometric considerations to the 1827W medical services; and whether he will now take steps to institute an Army anthropometric survey in Scotland, utilising the services of ex-officer anthropologists of over 50 years of age who have offered themselves for this work and the facilities of the universities for anthropological, medical and psychological investigation?
§ Mr. StanleyI would refer the hon. and learned Member to the answer given to him on 28th September last. I am advised that no military advantage is to be gained by carrying out an anthropometric survey in the Army.
