§ Mr. BRIDGEMANasked why field officers in the Territorial Forces and field officers in the Special Reserve are treated differently in respect of exemption from service as sheriff?
§ Colonel SEELYI regret that I have nothing to add to the answer given to a similar question put by the hon. Gentleman on the 14th instant.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman, as he had no reason to give the last time, has he no reason to give now?
§ Colonel SEELYI think I did give a reason the last time. It may not have been adequate in the view of the hon. Member, but I cannot give any other reason now. If the hon. Member wants another reason I will try to find one.
