§ Mr. GEORGE ROBERTSasked the Secretary of State for War if he can state the present strength and establishment of the Territorial force in its different arms, the number of men who had enlisted for one year, two years, three years, and four years, respectively; the ages of the men in the different arms of the Territorial Force; and the number of guns and the type of gun with which the artillery are armed?
§ Mr. HALDANEThere are no figures of strength available later than 25th February, and these were given fully in reply to a question put by the hon. Member for Rutland on 17th March, to which I would ask my hon. Friend kindly to refer. The figures of men serving on particular engagements can only be given approximately; those for 25th February are as follows:—
| 1 year | 96,000 |
| 2 years | 18,500 |
| 3 years | 10,000 |
| 4 years | 104,000 |
§ The figures for one year include 19,500 men who have re-engaged since they joined the Territorial Force. The ages are only reported annually from the 1st October, and are, therefore, not available.
§ The number of guns required for the units which have been recognised is as follows:—
| Guns. | |
| 10-Prs | 12 |
| 15-Prs. (R.H.A.) | 52 |
| 15-Prs. (R.F.A.) | 492 |
| 5-inch. Howitzers | 112 |
| 4.7-inch Q.F | 56 |
