Lieut.-Colonel PINKHAMasked the Secretary of State for War why a defence unit, with headquarters at Willesden, comprising the districts of Willesden, 1312W Harrow, Hendon, and the North-West portion of the county of Middlesex is not authorised under the scheme for raising a Defence Force for Great Britain; and is he aware that the omission is causing dissatisfaction in the area of the county above mentioned?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe units of the Defence Force are being recruited on the regular cadres of the Territorial Army. The headquarters referred to in the question is not part of the divisional organisation, and all men in this particular district who are able are requested to join another Defence Force unit.
