§ 10. Lieut.-Colonel CAMPIONasked the Secretary of State for War whether the selection of regimental officers is in the hands of commanding officers of Territorial battalions subject to confirmation by the War Office; and whether those whose names now appear in the Army List on the strength of such battalions, and who are not selected, will automatically revert to the Territorial Army Reserve.
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe selection of regimental officers rests primarily with the officer commanding the unit, who may ask the Territorial Force County Association for their co-operation if he so wishes. The list of selected officers will be sent through the usual military channels to the War Office for approval. Officers who are supernumerary will be transferred to a Reserve if they are willing.
