§ 11. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, having in view the deficiency in the number of officers and men in the Territorial Force, he will consider the organisation under military supervision of rifle clubs in Great Britain upon the lines of rifle clubs in Australia, with a view to the development of reserves available in case of emergency?
§ Mr. HACKINGCertain proposals to meet the deficiency on the Territorial Army are now under consideration, and I will bear the suggestion of my hon. and gallant Friend in mind, although I doubt whether such a scheme is best suited to our particular needs.
