§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a committee, in December 1921, recommended that a pharmaceutist of commissioned rank not lower than that of captain be appointed at the War Office to act in an advisory and inspectorial capacity; that this recommendation has not been put into operation; and, inasmuch as the need for such advice has increased with the advance of the science of pharmacy since the date of that report, whether he will now take steps to make such an appointment?
§ Captain MargessonTwo highly qualified civilian pharmaceutists have been employed at the War Office in an advisory and inspectorial capacity for a number of years, and an additional seven qualified pharmaceutists have been employed in a similar capacity since the outbreak of war I am satisfied that all the necessary advice and inspection on this subject are available under the present arrangements.
