§ Mr. MUNRO FERGUSONasked what would be the initial and annual expenditures involved were 200,000 men added to the Territorial Army on the basis of the existing force in respect to all arms?
§ Mr. HALDANEIt is clear that this large additional force will involve the formation of new units, and the annual expenditure may on this basis be taken at approximately£2,000,000. As regards initial expenditure, some£1,000,000 would cover the cost of clothing and personal equipment, but the cost involved in the provision of extra buildings and the initial 814 expenditure on guns, wagons, rifles, ammunition, harness and saddlery, and engineer and medical stores, etc., cannot be given without much labour and trouble.
§ Mr. KEIR HARDIEIs it in contemplation to add 200,000 men to the Territorial Army?
§ Mr. HALDANEI have not said it is in contemplation.
