§ Mr. CROFTWhen were these figures relating to the Special Reserve collected—are they of the present time?
§ Colonel SEELYThey are the latest figures we have available. I will let the hon. Member know their date.
§ Mr. STANIERIf an officer serves in the Special Reserve and also in the Territorial Force, is he counted twice, or for which is he counted?
§ Colonel SEELYSuch cases must be very very rare. [HON. MEMBERS: "No, no."] But it would not affect the figures materially. I will find cut and let the hon. Member know.
