HC Deb 11 July 1907 vol 178 c41
MR. COURTHOPE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to offer any, and, if so, what, inducement to join the nucleus third battalions or Special Contingent to recruits or men serving in the present Militia respectively.

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Buchanan,) Perthshire, E.

A recruit joining the Special Reserve will do so under the conditions obtaining for that, force. A. serving Militiaman will be offered a bonus of £2, in view of the liability to foreign service.

MR COURTHOPE

was understood to ask if Volunteers now serving would also get the £2.

MR BUCHANAN

I should like to have notice of that Question.
