§ Sir ROBERT HOBARTasked whether under Vote 4 of the Army Estimates, 1909-10, Territorial Force, the increase on the Vote of £70,000, payments to county associations for buildings and ranges, it is intended to give the county associations a freer hand to provide drill halls with miniature rifle ranges at the public expense; or whether the Territorial Forces are still to be mainly dependent for these necessary accessories to their military training on local enterprise and individual patriotism?
§ Mr. HALDANEIt is the intention of the War Department to provide such buildings and ranges as are necessary for the training of the Territorial Force. County associations will not spend money on these services without the sanction of the Army Council. The increase is due mainly to the necessity of providing for new accommodation for the Horse and Field Artillery.
