§ 9. Colonel CLIFTON BROWNasked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to the increasing difficulty of finding regular officers willing to accept the appointment of Territorial artillery adjutant; and what action he is taking in the matter?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSRecently there has been a falling off in the number of suitable applicants for appointment to adjutancies in the Royal Artillery of the Territorial Army. If suitable volunteers are not forthcoming, officers are detailed for this, as for any other, military duty.
§ Colonel CLIFTON BROWNIs my right hon. Friend aware that the detailing of officers involves very heavy financial sacrifices on their part, and is it fair?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI am always prepared to get volunteers, and obviously, if I cannot get volunteers, then, I am afraid, it must be treated as a military duty.
