§ VISCOUNT HELMSLEY (Yorkshire, N.R., Thirsk)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether Yeoman enrolled before 18th August 1901, and not under the Act of that year, will be allowed to engage in the Territorial Army for one year at a time, or whether, after 31st March 1909, they will be required to sign for four years if they wish to remain members of the Territorial Force.
I beg also to ask the Secretary of State for War whether yeoman serving under the Act of 1901, and having completed three years' service or their period of re-engagement, as the case may be, will be permitted to engage in the Territorial Army for one year, and so on from year to year, or whether they will be compelled, if they wish to join the Territorial Army, to bind themselves to serve for four years.
§ MR. HALDANEIn reply to these questions will the noble Lord kindly refer to my very full reply to similar Questions put by my hon. and gallant friend the Member for Southampton on 1st April.
