§ Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Secretary of State for War what has been the average cost in the last six months of obtaining one recruit for the Regular and Territorial Armies.
§ Mr. ShinwellIt is estimated that the cost was approximately £6 6s. for the Regular and £2 2s. for the Territorial Army. These estimates cover cost of recruiting staff, recruiting rewards and publicity generally but do not take into account the cost of recruiting premises, travelling, headquarters staff, printing expenditure borne by His Majesty's Stationery Office, or the administrative expenses of Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Associations.
