§ MR. CHILDERSsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether Her Majesty's Government have had under their consideration the recommendations of the Select Committee of last Session on Retirement from the Non-Purchase Corps?
§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, in reply, that the Report to which the Question of the hon. Gentleman referred was a very important one, and the subject was one of considerable difficulty. He hoped therefore his hon. Friend would excuse him if he wished to postpone a statement as to the course the Government might take until the re-assembling of Parliament.
