asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can indicate the extent of the suggested changes in the facilities for officers and cadets to obtain a wider range of supplies of officers' equipment and uniforms through the official supply depots and stores; and when the promised changes are to become effective?

This matter is under consideration.

While thanking the right hon. Gentleman for that assurance, may I ask whether he recalls the promise made by the Lord President of the Council three weeks ago that it was under active consideration at that time?

So it is.

When are we likely to have a pronouncement?
