Scope and content

Mentions a worthwhile report which should be produced by the Headquarters Reorganisation Committee. The most important issue would be the Ministerial structure of the Ministry of Defence when the new government was formed. The Committee was investigating staff numbers. There were too many Ministers and insufficient Parliamentary Under Secretaries of State.
