§ SIR T. GLEN-COATS (Renfrewshire, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether officers of Militia battalions ordered to be disbanded who have elected to transfer to other units may be transferred now and receive, after the next training of their new unit, the uniform allowance of £40 alluded to in special Army Order of 23rd December last.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) These officers cannot be transferred at present. They must be attached to another unit until it is converted into a reserve battalion at the end of the annual training of 1908, when they will be posted to it and receive the actual expenses involved by the change of uniform not exceeding £40.
