HC Deb 19 October 1916 vol 86 c741W
Major NEWMAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether a new class of the Army Reserve known as Class I. has been created consisting of skilled tradesmen belonging to some fifty trades; and whether it is intended to attest and enrol in this class all tradesmen of these trades of military age and physical fitness at present employed in Government and controlled works?

Mr. FORSTER

Class T of the Army Reserve is to consist of men of the engineering trades enumerated in Army Order IV. of 1916, who are not required for immediate service in the Army. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
