§ Mr. CARLILE (for Major Coates)asked what length of training the special telegraph reserve of the Post Office Rifles will receive this year with the telegraph battalion Royal Engineers; and whether, if they receive only a week's training with the Royal Engineers, they will be permitted to train for a second week in camp with the Post Office Rifles, in order that their period of military training may equal that of Territorial soldiers?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Haldane)The training will be for the same period as last year—for a week. The question, however, of the future status and training of these reservists is now under the consideration of a Committee.
