§ Sir W. BULLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that many members of the Volunteer Force are responsible for 'the conduct of businesses and have liabilities as householders and heads of families, he can give an assurance that, in the event of the mobilisation of this force, as ample preliminary notice as possible will be given to all ranks?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe Volunteer Force will be called out for actual military, service in the event of imminent invasion, and I am afraid that in such an emergency very little preliminary notice will be practicable.
