HC Deb 16 December 1925 vol 189 cc1449-50W
Viscount SANDON

asked the Secretary of State for War what the saving to the State in the last financial year has been owing to the deficiency in the Territorial Army as to its full peace strength, and what it is estimated to be in the present year?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The provision made in Estimates is for the-estimated strength, not for the full establishment of the Territorial Army. If the establishment had been full, the extra cost both last year and this year would have been about £400,000.
