§ Mr. CARR-GOMMasked the Secretary of State for War if he can state what would be the approximate annual cost of a military system in this country based upon the scheme of the National Training Bill?
§ Mr. HALDANETo enable me to give more than an approximate estimate it would be necessary to have a scheme showing details of establishment, arms of the service, rates of pay, and many other points as to which the Bill contains no information; and I prefer not to give an official figure until I am in possession of fuller information on these points.
