§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)To ask the Secretary of State for War, whether he intends to do away with any Volunteer battalions under the new scheme, or change the nature of any of the units of the Auxiliary Forces; and, if so, whether this duty will be relegated to the county association.
§ (Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Under the scheme it is proposed that the Army Council shall notify its requirements for each locality to the county associations. The associations will then, in conjunction with the Army Council, work out the most suitable arrangements to meet those requirements, which will involve in many cases the changing of the nature of existing units in the Auxiliary Forces.
