§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Secretary of State for War whether the number of Regular Artillery to replace the Special Reserve formed but of the old Artillery Militia regiments about to be disbanded would be of equal numerical strength to the disbanded regiments; and, if not, whether more or less, and by what number?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe establishment of the Royal Field Reserve Artillery will be ultimately reduced from 12,000 to 6,000. The establishment of the new three-year men in the Regular Royal Field Artillery is 5,000, and it is expected that this number will create a normal reserve of nearly 14,000.
