§ MR. WEDGWOOD (Newcastle-under-Lyme)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether means can be found to retain the original number of instructors in those battalions of the Territorial Army which have separate companies and separate headquarters in different country towns, and have hitherto had separate instructors at each headquarters.
949 (Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The whole question of instructors is now being carefully considered by the Army Council. I do not think it is probable that as the result all companies which have separate headquarters possibly close together will necessarily have separate instructors. General Officers Commanding-in-Chief are empowered in special cases to employ temporary instructors.
