HC Deb 30 July 1907 vol 179 cc752-3
*CAPTAIN FABER

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the secretaryships of the county associations in the new Territorial Force will be open to retired officers only or to officers on full pay, or to both.

MR. HALDANE

It would be premature to make any statement on this subject, which is now under consideration.

*CAPTAIN FABER

asked if the right hon. Gentleman would also consider the claims of the warrant and non-commissioned officers?

MR. HALDANE

The claims of the service have to be considered first.
