HC Deb 19 July 1922 vol 156 c2089W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Army is now up to strength, and, if it is not, how many recruits would be necessary to bring it up to strength?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

On 1st July the strength of the Regular Army, including all ranks, but exclusive of the British Army in India, was approximately 9,000 in excess of establishments. The second part of the question does not therefore arise.
