HC Deb 07 March 1911 vol 22 cc1018-9
Mr. HUNT

asked whether, in view of the fact that the Special Reserve is now part of the Regular Army, he can give a Return of the average age, height, chest measurement, and weight of all Special Reserve recruits for the year 1910?

Mr. HALDANE

The ages of the Special Reserve will be found in the General Annual Reports. An annual return of the height, chest measurement, and weight of the Special Reserve would involve very considerable extra labour on the part of the Army Medical Staff, but I will consider whether the hon. Member's proposal is practicable.

Mr. ASHLEY

When will the information be published?

Mr. HALDANE

Very shortly.

Mr. ASHLEY

Shall we have it before the Army discussion?

Mr. HALDANE

I hope so.
