Yes, Sir. Instructions have been issued for the following contingents to be disbanded:—Bradford Grammar School, Northampton School, Reigate Grammar School, and Rydal School. These contingents are being disbanded because they have not, over a period of years, sufficiently fulfilled the purpose for which contingents are designed, that is, to supply officers for the Territorial Army and Supplementary Reserve in peace, and to build up a reserve of potential officers for use in emergency. They are being replaced.
