HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 cc423-4W
Major J. Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for War what office and authority is responsible for providing office accommodation for use as temporary headquarters by Territorial regiments during their period of suspended animation; and what staff is available to assist when necessary.

Mr. Lawson:

When units of the Territorial Army are placed in suspended animation they retain their identity and order of precedence in the Army List but have no men serving in them. They, therefore, require no office. Territorial Army Associations, however, retain considerable interest in the units they formerly administered and do assist representatives of these units in any way they can. I am also encouraging the formation of Old Comrades' Associations of Territorial Army Units at the drill halls they used to occupy and instructions to this effect have been issued to Territorial Army Associations.
