§ Mr. AMERYasked what were the total losses by desertion from the Regular Army in the five-year periods from 1904 to 1908 and from 1909 to 1913, respectively; and what was the percentage of desertions to the total number recruited in each of those periods?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe hon. Member will find much more complete information on this point than I could possibly give in answer to a question on page 68 of the General Annual Return.
§ Mr. AMERYIs it a fact that the percentage of desertions has been much higher in the last five years than during the preceding five years?
§ Mr. TENNANTSpeaking from memory, I think the hon. Member is mistaken.
