HC Deb 03 March 1925 vol 181 cc225-6
35. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the difficulty in which regular officers seconded for service with the Territorial Army are placed in finding residential accommodation while doing duty with Territorial units, he will consider the provision of official residences which could be rented by these officers?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I regret that I cannot hold out any hope of official residences being provided for regular officers serving with the Territorial Army. Their difficulties are appreciated but in some respects they are better off than other regular officers as they have greater fixity of tenure and are quartered for the most part in places where houses are more easily obtainable than at purely military stations.
