§ MR. GIBBS (Bristol, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will cause some alteration to be made in the system of re-engagement now in force in the Imperial Yeomanry, with a view to retain the good men as long as possible.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The system of re-engagement now in 355 force was introduced, at the request of a large majority of commanding officers, in order to meet the convenience of the old yeomen and with the deliberate view of so retaining the good men. There is, therefore, no intention of altering the system.
