§ 59. Mr. J. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for War why his regulations permit the practice in certain units of the Territorial Army to make attendance at particular parades or camps a condition of the current payment of bounties and other payments.
§ Mr. HeadThe average Territorial Army unit holds some 150 training 139W periods a year. A man must attend at least 30 of these to qualify for the bounty. Clearly, on this basis only a proportion of the unit or sub-unit might be present at any particular parade. For this reason, 10 special training periods which count towards the bounty are held at times specified by the commanding officer.
