MR. GRANTasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, considering the advantages enjoyed by the Volunteers in the Metropolis and the South of England in the way of facilities for training along with the troops of the regular army in camps of instruction, by experienced officers, he will consider the desirability of extending those advantages to the Volunteers of the North, by the establishment of a camp of instruction of a permanent character in some locality in the South of Scotland, to which the Volunteers of Scotland and the North of England may resort for the 1932 purpose of being trained with the Regulars and Militia, in the same manner as is done at Aldershot?
§ MR. CHILDERSIn reply to my hon. Friend, I regret that I cannot at present hold out any hope to him of establishing a camp in Scotland at which Scotch Volunteers and Militia could be trained with the Regulars as at Alder-shot. But we are now considering how to utilize the ground purchased for a tactical station at Strensall, in the North of England, and next year I may be able to make some communication to the House on this subject.
