I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state the number of Volunteers, officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, respectively, who attended camp for fourteen days training with the Field Army Brigades for each of the last three years.

MR. HALDANE

The numbers are as follows:—

Having regard to the importance of these figures, cannot the right hon. Gentleman devise some means of giving the fourteen days training next year?
