HC Deb 12 July 1909 vol 7 c1820W
Sir R. HOBART

asked the Secretary of State for War whether permission will be given to all or any of the 127 units of the Territorial Forces which, by the latest returns on 1st July, have reached full strength, to recruit over strength during the financial year until the total number of the Territorial Forces voted by Parliament have been reached, seeing that 80 units are still under 75 per cent, of their establishment of non-commissioned officers and men?

Mr. HALDANE

In reply to my hon. Friend there is no intention of permitting Territorial Force units to recruit over their establishment.
