§ Mr. Burdenasked the Minister of Defence if he will make available to Members a regular statement of the progress of recruiting for the Auxiliary Forces.
§ Mr. AlexanderYes. Monthly figures of Territorial Army recruiting are already being issued by the War Office in connection with the campaign recently inaugurated. For the convenience of Members, however, I have today placed in the Vote Office copies of a statement showing recruiting for the second and third quarters of 1948 to the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, the Territorial Army, the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and the Royal Observer Corps. I will arrange for similar statements to be made available at quarterly intervals.
