asked the Secretary of State for War approximately how many National Service men he intends to retain beyond their two years' period and to recall, respectively; in which categories they will be; and whether they will include married men with or without children.

I have nothing to add, at this stage, to the statement I made during the Second Reading of the Army Reserve Bill.

asked the Secretary of State for War if, following the announcement of the bounty for volunteers, he will now consider paying a bounty or gratuity to all those National Service men required to serve for an extra six months.

No.
