HC Deb 30 October 1911 vol 30 c678W
Mr. CAMPION

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War in what manner he proposes to make up the deficiencies in arms, clothing, and equipment for the various Territorial units in order that men joining on mobilisation to complete the establishment may be provided with the same?

Colonel SEELY

I presume the hon. Member refers to trained men joining from the Territorial Reserve. It has recently been decided to allow men to join that Reserve who have served in the Regular Army or Special Reserve, and it is recognised that this involves accelerated provision of clothing and accoutrements in advance of the growth of the Territorial Force itself. Measures for this are under consideration. Ample reserves of arms already exist.
