HC Deb 23 March 1920 vol 127 c229
33. Mr. CHADWICK

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the pending termination of the Military Service Act and also in view of the grave responsibilities entailed by the unsettled situation in various parts of the world, he is satisfied with the present strength of the Army and the results of voluntary recruiting; and, if not, does he intend to make a special effort on a voluntary basis to secure the requisite number of men?

Mr. CHURCHILL

As I stated during the Debate last evening, recruiting for the Army is good. The steps which have been taken to secure recruits have so far proved adequate to meet our requirements.
