HC Deb 06 May 1907 vol 173 cc1306-7
SIR CHARLES DILKE

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether moneys required for the Territorial Army under Clause 3 of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Bill will be Army Votes within the accounting charge of the Director of Army Finance as accounting officer.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The payments to be made to county associations for the purposes of the Territorial Force will be made from Army Votes within the accounting charge of the Director General of Army Finance as accounting officer. Expenditure conducted by the associations will be on a footing similar to that now conducted by Volunteer corps out of their public grants. I hope before long to be able to lay before the House details of what is proposed.
