§ Mr. NEWMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a sum of money is payable to the person other than recruiting officers successful in obtaining a recruit for the Regular Army while no similar or any sum from public moneys is payable on an enlistment for the Territorial Force, and whether, in view of the fact that in the majority of cases the terms of enlistment are now identical for both the Regular and Territorial Forces, the non-payment of such recruiting money places the Territorial Force at a disadvantage in obtaining recruits?
§ Mr. TENNANTCounty Associations are permitted to pay recruiting rewards not exceeding 1s. 6d. out of their surplus funds. It does not appear to be necessary to offer any further inducement.
§ Mr. NEWMANSeeing that most of the Territorial Associations have no funds, how can they give such money?
