HC Deb 30 June 1920 vol 131 cc454-5W
Sir S. SCOTT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can make any further statement as to the assistance afforded by mayors of municipal boroughs in the London area to secure recruits for the Territorial Army?

Mr. CHURCHILL:

I regret that in my answer on the 15th June no reference was made to the assistance that is being afforded by the Mayor of St. Marylebone and the Council, who have formed a strong Committee not only to deal with recruiting for the Territorial Army in that borough, but to go whole-heartedly into the subject in all parts of the County of London. I should also add that the Mayor of Bermondsey, although unable to form a Committee to deal with the subject, has expressed himself as personally willing to do all in his power to help recruiting.
