HC Deb 02 March 1908 vol 185 cc327-8
SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how many secretaries have been appointed to the Territorial Force County Associations, and how many of them previously served in the Imperial Yeomanry or Volunteer force.

MR. HALDANE

For thirty-five Associations secretaries have been definitely appointed. The number of individuals appointed is thirty-two, some counties having appointed joint secretaries, while Lancashire has appointed two. Of this number three have served or are serving in the Yeomanry and nine in the Volunteers. Two of the secretaries-appointed have served as brigade majors, of Volunteers and one as adjutant.
