HC Deb 22 June 1880 vol 253 cc535-6
EARL PERCY

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the fact that the "Newcastle Guardian," the "Birmingham Morning News," the "North Briton," and other journals printed in the list of newspapers in which Army advertisements may appear in the Appendix to Clause 154 of the Army Circulars, 1st June 1880, are no longer in existence; and, if so, whether he will direct a revision of the list?

MR. CHILDERS

I have to thank the noble Lord for calling my attention to the somewhat obsolete character of the newspaper list in the Appendix to Clause 154 of the Army Circulars. It is a matter with which the War Office has nothing to do, but I have communi- cated with the Treasury on the subject; and an amended, and, I hope, more accurate list of newspapers in which Army advertisements may appear has been received to-day.
