§ MR. CARLILE (Hertfordshire, St. Albans)To ask the Secretary of State for War upon what grounds the Ordnance Department have refused to issue to transport and supply columns of the Territorial Army the wagons and harness allotted to them by regulation, and which are indispensable to the carrying out of their necessary duties during the training which is commencing next week.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It has been decided to issue to units for instructional purposes one wagon and harness per transport company. The hon. Member must recollect that this equipment, together with that of other services, takes time to provide.
