§ Mr. John MacLeodasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the training and retraining required, it would be possible for men of the Royal Engineers and Pioneer Corps to do some of their practical training in building bridges and roads in the more remote 108W areas, and particularly in the Highland area of Scotland.
§ Mr. StracheyI am always prepared to look into opportunities for improving the training of the Army such as those to which the hon. Member refers; but, in view of the heavy military duties falling on all units of the Regular Army at present, I cannot say more.
