HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 cc229-30W
Mr. King

asked the Secretary of State for War how many officers in the Dorset Regiment now stationed in Japan have applied for a Regular commission in the Army; and how long they have been kept waiting for a reply.

Mr. Bellenger

Only one application has been received; it was dated 18th January last, and was forwarded to India, to arrange for the officer's attendance at a selection board. The results have not yet been reported. I am looking into the case.
