§ COLONEL HOWARD VINCENTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if any check is placed upon Volunteer Corps in recruiting up to their authorised establishment, and if within such number the equipment and greatcoat allowance is invariably granted?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANEvery Volunteer Corps can recruit up to its establishment, and the annual equipment allowance of 1s. and greatcoat allowance of 2s. is made for all efficients for the year within that establishment, except in cases where Corps have received a special payment for the supply of greatcoats. In such instances the greatcoat allowance is temporarily suspended for varying periods.
