HC Deb 05 September 1940 vol 365 c38W
Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps have now been taken to reinstate the Gorell scheme for the British Army at home and abroad; and what additions have been made to the staff of the Army Educational Corps as a result?

Mr. Eden

The committee appointed by my predecessor to prepare a scheme of education for the Army in war-time has reported and its report has been generally accepted by the Army Council. A Director of Education has been appointed, and has now taken up his duties. The question of the establishment necessary to carry out the scheme is under active consideration.
