asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give an assurance that Territorial Army units to which Class Z reservists will be posted on recall this summer will be issued before the start of the 15 days' training with their establishment of up-to-date arms, up-to-date equipment and up-to-date vehicles.

Arms, equipment and vehicles will be issued for use during the 15 days' training period, to Territorial Army units to which Class Z reservists will be posted, on a scale sufficient to enable them to carry out proper training. This will not necessarily be the scale at which the units will fight in war.
