§ Sir H. ROGERSasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the heavy losses of regimental property of Territorial battalions that have occurred, notably by the 5/6th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment, arising out of the War while the battalions were on active service, they will be made good by the public, especially as these losses are deterring officers from joining the new Territorial Army; and whether this principle will be followed in other similar cases?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThese cases will receive consideration. Until inquiry has been made into the circumstances of each case I cannot say more.
