§ Mr. HUNTasked why the Infantry of the Special Reserve have had their annual training extended to twenty-seven days, whilst the Royal Garrison Artillery, the scientific and highly technical branch of the Service, have only fifteen days' annual training?
§ Colonel SEELYThe question of the period of annual training for the Garrison Artillery is now under consideration.
§ Mr. HUNTIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that fifteen days' training is inconsiderable and insufficient?
§ Colonel SEELYI say the question is under consideration.
§ Mr. HUNTWill the right hon. Gentleman answer the question why the Infantry of the Special Reserve have had their training extended whilst the Artillery have only fifteen days?
§ Colonel SEELYI do not think I could go into the whole question of the training of the different branches of the Territorial Force at Question time without greatly inconveniencing other hon. Members who have questions on the Paper. It is a very technical matter.
