§ 62. Mr. AMERYasked the Secretary for War whether Reservists are being invited to re-engage in the Regular Army at Home; and, if so, to what extent and under what conditions; and if he will state what other measures are being taken in order to deal with the question of the shortage that exists in the Regular Army at Home and in India?
§ Mr. TENNANTA question put by the hon. and gallant Member for Midlothian on this subject was answered yesterday. To what I said then I would add that the qualifications for a man rejoining are that he must be unmarried, medically fit, must have two years unexpired service, and must have been awarded a military character of not less than "fair" when he left the Colours. In reply to the last part of the question I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for West Marylebone on the 1st instant.
§ Mr. TENNANTNot without notice.
