§ 2. Mr. Denvilleasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered the case of a youth, a member of the special constabulary, who was anxious to join the Territorials, but was told by the chief of the special constabulary not to do so as men in the special constabulary would not be called up provided they were carrying out the duties required of them; and, as the young man now finds himself called upon to register under the Military Training Act, will he allow him to join the Territorials, which he is still keen to do?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI am informed that there appears to have been some misapprehension as to the alleged statement. So far as the War Office is concerned, there is no apparent reason why this young man should not join the Territorial Army, unless or until he has been called up for Militia service, but service in the Territorial Army would not now exempt him from Militia service.
