§ Mr. POLLOCKasked whether it has been decided that special constables, who are also Volunteers, must elect to which service they will continue to belong; if so, what is the ground for this decision; and whether it will be possible to allow those whose circumstances permit them to. fulfil both duties to continue to do so?
Mr. SAMUELI would refer the hon. and learned Member to the reply which the Under-Secretary of State for War gave to the hon. Member for North-East Bethnal Green, on the 22nd June. No such decision has been given as is suggested in the question; but the whole matter is under the consideration of the War Office. I am anxious that it should be settled as soon as possible.
