HC Deb 08 July 1907 vol 177 c1153
MR. ASHLEY (Lancashire, Blackpool)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can yet say whether lance-corporals will be appointed in the Territorial Force or not?

MR. HALDANE

There must be lance-corporals in the Territorial Army. I may explain, however, that the permanent rank of a lance-corporal is that of private and that lance-corporals are not shown in establishments.

MR. ASHLEY

Are these lance-corporals to receive the separation allowance?

MR. HALDANE

We will consider that when we come to details.

MR. ASHLEY

Did not the right hon. Gentleman on a previous occasion say that they would '?

MR. HALDANE

These details have not been gone into yet.
