Mr. Wilson
asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered representations that tests are available which gauge the mental capacity of recruits; whether any such tests have been carried out; and, if so, how many recruits have been found to be defective and what proportion these bear to the numbers examined?
Mr. Stanley
It is not considered practicable, in present conditions, to adopt a system of tests for gauging the mental capacity of recruits, and no such tests have been carried out.
