HC Deb 24 July 1890 vol 347 cc721-2
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)

I had intended to ask the Secretary of State for War if he has observed that Colonel Maitland, of the Grenadier Guards, wrote to the papers to say that he had not resigned; if Colonel Maitland has nevertheless been treated as having resigned, and is retired on half-pay; and, if that step is the result of an inquiry showing that Colonel Maitland is so much in fault as to justify his removal, or is it a mere temporary removal, leaving the officer eligible for future employment? I will, however, postpone the question unlil to-morrow.
