§ MR. MORTON (Sutherland)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Lovat Scouts in Sutherlandshire have the same rights and privileges as the Territorial Forces to the use of shooting ranges and drill halls; and, if not, will he make arrangements whereby the grievance might be remedied by both forces having the use of shooting ranges and drill halls.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The Lovat's Scouts in Southerlandshire have the same rights and privileges as the rest of the Territorial Force. The provision of ranges is the business of the County Association whose proposals for accommodating this squadron have been approved. They occupy buildings exclusively, and share ranges with the 5th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders. Will my hon. friend kindly let me know what the particular grievance is to which he alludes?
