§ 24. Mr. CAMPIONasked the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the importance of the efficient training of non-commisisoned officers of the Territorial Army, he will consider the advisability of providing greater facilities for week-end classes of instruction; and whether he is aware that at present the sum of money in the hands of general officers commanding districts is insufficient to provide such facilities?
§ Colonel SEELYIt is the duty of the permanent staff, under the orders of the commanding officer of the unit, to secure that all non-commissioned officers are thoroughly trained in their duties, and that they are afforded facilities for obtaining the necessary instruction. The money allotted to general officers commanding-in-chief for the training and instruction of the Territorial Force is not considered insufficient.
