Mr. Craik Hendersonasked the Secretary of State for War what proportion of Territorial battalions at the beginning of the present war were commanded by Territorial officers; and what the proportion now is?
§ Sir E. GriggAt the beginning of the war, all Territorial Army battalions except one were commanded by officers holding Territorial Army commissions, the proportion thus being very nearly 100 per cent. A number of these battalions have since been converted into units of other arms. Of the remaining battalions, 37 per cent. are commanded by officers holding Territorial Army commissions. Of the converted units, 75 per cent are so commanded.
