HC Deb 29 July 1937 vol 326 c3352W
Mr. Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for War under what Acts of Parliament he has power to convert units of the Territorial Force, the men of which have enlisted as infantry, into other arms such as anti-aircraft units?

Sir V. Warrender

Under Section 7 {4)(b) of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act, 1907, men of the Territorial Army can only be transferred from one corps to another with their consent. Men in infantry units selected for conversion who do not consent to remain with their units after conversion are given the option of transferring to another unit in the neighbourhood, if there are vacancies, or of terminating their service.
