HC Deb 06 February 1951 vol 483 c191W
Mr. Scott

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is his intention to carry out a selective call-up of the Territorial Army Reserve during the coming training season; and on what principles the selection is to be based.

Mr. Strachey

Yes. The principles on which the selection of these reservists will be based will be exactly the same as in the case of the other Reserves, and was explained by the Prime Minister in his statement on 29th January, 1951.

Mr. Scott

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will publish details of his proposed plans for training the Territorial Reserve as early as possible so that those concerned will have reasonable notice of their obligations.

Mr. Strachey

Yes. In a few weeks' time a date will be set after which any members of the Class Z Reserve who have not had a notice will know that they are not being recalled.
