§ SIR ROBERT HOBART (Hampshire, New Forest)To ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state the reason for the delay in gazetting the officers of the late Volunteer battalions of the Hampshire regiment to the new Territorial battalions of that regiment; and when such Gazette will be issued.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The officers of all the battalions of the Hampshire regiment have now been gazetted to the Territorial Force. I have already explained to the House the difficulties which have led to delay in gazetting officers to the Territorial Force.
