§ MR. G. GOOCHTo ask the Secretary of State for War how many men have been dismissed from the Army during the tenure of office by the present Government without being offered service on equally favourable conditions in other units.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The hon. Member is presumably referring to the units which were disbanded. No men belonging to these units were dismissed from the Army. Those who did not complete their service in their units' were either posted or voluntarily transferred to other units or transferred to the Reserve at their own request on guarantee of obtaining employment.
