§ Mr. Parkerasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of the Government to call up Regular Army officers on the reserve for three months' training each year to train militia recruits; whether the establishment of ordinary officers is to be increased for this purpose; and what measures he proposes to take to deal with the matter?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaNo, Sir, but a number of these officers will be employed on such duties this year. For the future, it will probably be necessary to increase the establishment.
