§ MR. ASHLEYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if lie can yet say whether the Territorial soldier on joining will receive a free issue of underclothing and necessaries, and on whom the annual cost of maintenance of these articles will fall.
§ MR. HALDANEIt is not intended to give a free issue of underclothing to the Territorial Force; the question of whether any articles included in the term "necessaries" should be given is under consideration.
