§ LORD GARLIESsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War. Whether he can state why no ammunition has been supplied to the Battalion of Galloway Rifle Volunteers this season,, although the usual requisition was made for it over two months ago?
CAPTAIN VIVIANsaid, in reply, that the reason was because the whole Volunteer Force was being supplied with new ammunition, and that this required some time to accomplish. The various corps throughout the country were being supplied, as the ammunition was made, and no delay further than was absolutely necessary would occur.
