HC Deb 18 May 1939 vol 347 cc1650-1W
Mr. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of the Government that all Territorial non-commissioned officers called up for militia training will be reinstated in the appropriate rank on rejoining their Territorial unit on the completion of the six months' compulsory training?

Sir V. Warrender

Yes, Sir, it would be normal for their commanding officers to reinstate them provided their conduct during training in the militia has been satisfactory. In the event of there being no immediate vacancy in the appropriate rank when a non-commissioned officer rejoins, he can be held supernumerary until he can be absorbed.
