§ MR. VIVIAN (Birkenhead)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the advisability of now relaxing the regulations as to the physical development and teeth of recruits for the Volunteer and Yeomanry forces.
(Answered by Mr. Haldane.) I am not aware of any reasons for considering that the physical standard laid down for recruits of Imperial Yeomanry and Volunteers is too high, nor does my hon. friend suggest any. As regards teeth there is no fixed standard, and the matter is left to the judgment and discretion of the examining officer.
