HC Deb 27 July 1911 vol 28 c1885W
Colonel RAWSON

asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he is aware that the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company refuse to carry Territorial units on Saturdays in July or August, and that other railway companies also raise difficulties in the matter, and that this compels the concentrating and dispersing of Territorial units for annual training on Sundays, which is prejudicial to recruiting; and whether the Army Council will bring pressure to bear on the railway companies to obviate the necessity for it?

Colonel SEELY

The particular case to which the hon. and gallant Member refers is under the consideration of the Army Council.
