Mr. F. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the useful work of constructive engineering performed by he Corps of Engineers in the U.S.A.; and whether he will examine the possibility of introducing a similar system of training and work in this country.

The importance of giving good training in heavy engineering to Royal Engineers in peacetime is fully recognised. Various methods of providing such training including the American system are now under consideration.
