§ Dr. A. V. Hillasked the Secretary of State for War whether applications can be considered for transfer to other arms, from men in the Pioneer Corps who have special scientific, technical, educational or other qualifications; and, if so, whether he will let the possibility be generally known, and how such applications should be made?
§ Captain MargessonMen of the Pioneer Corps are eligible for transfer in the normal way, except aliens and men with dual nationality. Applications from aliens and men with dual nationality are, however, considered, and instructions explaining the procedure to be adopted will shortly be issued. Subject to the fulfilment of security requirements, a number of such transfers are already in course of being effected.
