§ MR. COURTHOPETo ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can give any further information as to the amendment of the attestation form for the Territorial Force.
§ MR. COURTHOPETo ask the Secretary of State for War what steps should be taken or statements made, with reference to the attestation form, by Yeomanry or Volunteer officers who are under orders to ascertain during the present week whether the men now serving under them will continue to serve in the Territorial Force.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) In reply to these Questions the attestation form has been submitted to the advisory council, and a modified form will be issued. In the meantime there is no reason why Yeomanry and Volunteer officers should not continue to ascertain whether the men now serving under them will serve in the Territorial Force. The terms and conditions of service under the Act have been fully explained in the published leaflets, and are not in any way affected by the particular form adopted for the attestation.
