§ 128. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for War how many recruits to the Regular Army he has obtained as the result of the increased pay announcements; and if he is satisfied that he will now get the numbers he requires.
§ Mr. M. StewartThe number of recruits provisionally accepted during the month of September was 4,082 men, including 599 men enlisted on a special 18 months' engagement for Korea, and 376 women. It is too early to say whether all the recruits needed are likely to be obtained.
