§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid)To ask the Secretary of State for War if any of the divisional Generals to be appointed in connection with the territorial forces will receive their appointments before the end of 1907–8, in order to begin the work of organising the new Army.
§ MR. LONSDALETo ask the Secretary of State for War how many divisional Generals will be appointed in connection with the territorial forces.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It is impossible to say at present whether matters will be sufficiently advanced during the course of the financial year 1907–8 to permit of the appointment of any of the divisional Generals. It is proposed that the number of divisional Generals shall be ultimately fourteen.
