§ MR. ASHLEYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that in many cases the training of the Territorial Artillery units has been unsatisfactory owing to the deficiency of matériel and the insufficient numbers of the permanent staff, he can see his way to authorise training classes for such units during the coming winter.
§ MR. HALDANEThe Regulations provide for the formation of courses at any time of the year for the Territorial Artillery. There will be no difficulty in continuing the training of all ranks throughout the winter.
§ MR. ASHLEYWill the right hon. Gentleman sanction this course being taken? It is very important to give the men proper training.
§ MR. HALDANEThat rests with the General Officer Commanding.
