HC Deb 05 June 1946 vol 423 cc337-8W

110. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether a decision has yet been reached about the establishment of a Royal Marine Volunteer Reserve.

Mr. Dugdale

Yes, Sir. It is intended to set up a Royal Marine Forces Volunteer Reserve on lines following those of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve as closely as possible. The steps necessary to set up this reserve are now under consideration.
