Territorial Army Colours

MR. ASHLEY  (Lancashire, Blackpool)
I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to present colours to infantry battalions of the Territorial Army; and, if not, whether the twenty-three battalions of Militia, who are to be merged in the Territorial Force, will be permitted to retain theirs.

MR. HALDANE
This Question belongs to a class of inquiry to which it is impracticable at the present stage to return answers.

VISCOUNT TURNOUR  (Sussex, Horsham)
When are we likely to get the information?

MR. HALDANE
I cannot say. We find it expedient first to decide broad principles.
