§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will favourably consider an increase in the grant to the National Association for the Employment of Discharged and Reserved Soldiers, taking into consideration the fact that the Inspector General of Recruiting attributes the falling off in recruits to the want of employment for old soldiers, and that this is the only institution in the country which provides employment for Reserve and discharged men?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE, Lincolnshire, Horncastle)I am sorry to say that I must ask the hon. Gentleman to put the question at a somewhat later date. I am in communication with the Treasury on the subject, and if he will give me another fortnight I shall be able to give him an answer.
