HC Deb 02 March 1954 vol 524 c85W
92. Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for War how many officers and other ranks in the Army Emergency Reserve will not be posted to units during the current year and, as a consequence, will only be given block regimental training.

Mr. J. R. H. Hutchison

I regret that, at this stage of the year, I can give no worth while forecast. I can, however, say that steps are being taken to reduce the numbers in the general pools which contain the men who may be trained in this way.
