Territorial Army and other reserve and auxiliary forces, and who have now been embodied owing to mobilisation, from obtaining a refund of purchase money paid in respect of their discharge from previous engagements; and whether he will take steps to enable any man, who so re-enlisted to obtain a refund of discharge purchase money, provided he applies for and is granted a transfer to one of the Regular Forces on a normal regular engagement for a period of not less than three years with the colours?
