HC Deb 23 May 1939 vol 347 c2123W
Mr. Frankel

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that both the first and second lines of all Territorial units in the city and county of London are now up to full strength, he proposes to take any action to deal with volunteers in London who cannot be accepted; and, if so, will he state the nature of his proposals?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Although the majority of county and city of London units of the Territorial Army are now at full strength, there are some county units which still need recruits. Instructions have been issued generally that, unless there are vacancies in other units in the locality, those units which have recruited to the authorised establishments should record on a waiting list the names of any eligible men who present themselves for enlistment.
