§ MR. EVELYN CECIL (Aston Manor)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of the Government that men who have already enlisted in the Territorial Army at its beginning for one year only should be able to enlist again for one year only at their option, on the same conditions as to service and clothing.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Under the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act, Section 9 (1) (c), men may be re-engaged for a period to be prescribed not exceeding four years. This period will, in accordance with paragraph 88 of the Territorial Force Regulations, be fixed by the County Associations. This applies to all re-engagements.
