§ Lieut.-Colonel ASSHETON POWNALLasked the Secretary of State for War what was the total of surpluses held by Territorial county associations on 31st 2129W March, 1914; what was the total on 31st March, 1920; and what was the total of the reserve fund for clothing and accoutrements on each of the above dates?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe figures for 31st March, 1914, and 31st March, 1921, as shown by the published statements of the financial position of the county associations for those years (C d. 7678 and Cmd. 2526 respectively), are as follow:
No statement was published for the year 1920 during which the Territorial Army and its finances were in process of reconstitution, and the preparation of the figures for that year would involve considerable labour. I hope the figures for 1921 will serve my hon. and gallant Friend's purpose.
