HC Deb 23 May 1939 vol 347 c2071
36. Mr. Levy (for Mr. C. S. Taylor)

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give Reservists the opportunity of attending Territorial drill parades if they so desire to do without payment?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The Territorial Army has already a very heavy task in training its own personnel. Some Reservists have already done training this year, and it is intended to call up a large number under the provisions of the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces Bill.

37. Mr. Levy (for Mr. C. S. Taylor)

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will permit Reservists the privilege of wearing a distinguishing badge similar to the badge worn by members of the Territorial Army?

Mr Hore-Belisha

I have already directed an examination of this matter.
