§ MR. McCRAE (Edinburgh, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state the estimated actual strength of the Volunteer force under the new scheme, with a reduced establishment of 230,000 men.
§ *MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERIn reply to this Question, any estimate could only be given very approximately. It is probable that with an establishment of 230,000 the corresponding strength will eventually be about 200,000.
