§ 33. Mr. John Morrisonasked the Secretary of State for War how many men in the Army on Regular engagements have terminated, or are terminating, their service.
§ Mr. BellengerI presume the Question is intended to refer to regular soldiers whose period of Colour service has expired but who are still held to serve until they are due for release under the Age and Service Scheme or because they are retained under the "Military Necessity clause." No figures are available but I can say that there are very few, if any, such men still serving.
