§ 78. Sir J. Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will provide facilities for members of the Home Guard on the Reserve Roll to hold an annual reunion.
§ Mr. F. MacleanYes. Territorial Army Centres will be made available for these reunions and travelling expenses will be paid for members on the Reserve Roll. It is felt that these reunions will be of considerable use in helping Home Guard Reservists to maintain contact. In the event of war the Home Guard would have an important part to play in the defence of this country and we attach great value to their being able to mobilise rapidly and carry out efficiently the tasks allotted to them.
