§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in future annual Returns of the British Army, in the table giving the ages of non-commissioned officers and men, he will state the ages of the non-commissioned officers separately, instead of, as hitherto, making no distinction between their ages and those of private soldiers?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE,) Lincolnshire, HorncastleThe suggested information could be given; and before the next annual Return is compiled I will consider whether it will be expedient to supply it, and, if so, in what form.
