HC Deb 28 March 1911 vol 23 cc1293-4W
Mr. GEORGE GIBBS

asked whether the same facilities can be allowed to Territorial officers for acquiring books of instruction gratis as are now granted to officers of the Regular Army?

Mr. ACLAND

Each officer of the Territorial Force is at present supplied gratis with a copy of the Field Service Regulations, Part I., and a copy of the training manual relating to the arm to which he belongs. The extension of these grants proposed by the hon. Member would, I fear, involve a considerable sum of money, for which no public funds are available.
