HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 c701
Viscount VALENTIA

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can see his way so to increase the grants in aid of expenses incurred in conveying officers, men, regimental stores, and baggage to and from the annual camp, paragraph 648 of the Territorial Force Regulations, so as to allow of officers travelling first class, and the expense of baggage conveyance not falling upon county associations?

The SECRETARY Of STATE for WAR (Mr. Haldane)

I have considered this question, but there is no evidence to show that these grants, which are the same as those given to the Volunteers for many years past, are not sufficient to cover the expenses in question.
