§ Mr. CECIL HARMSWORTHasked the Under-Secretary for War what is the present strength of the Volunteer Training Corps; and whether any arrangements have yet been made by the War Office for the employment of members of this force on less important military duties that are now being discharged by soldiers of the Regular and Territorial Armies?
§ Mr. TENNANTI understand that the membership of the corps affiliated to the Central Association amounts to 183,415, but it is believed that this is not by any means the complete return. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
