§ LORD HOTHAMsaid, that as great anxiety was felt in many parts of the country with respect to the proceedings of the Royal Commission appointed last year on the subject of the Volunteer Force, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for War, When he will announce the intentions of the Government with reference to the recommendations of the Royal Commission appointed last year to inquire into the state of the Volunteer Force?
SIR GEORGE LEWISsaid, he would beg leave to state that it was the intention of the Government to adopt substantially the recommendations of the Royal Commissioners. The grant of a sum of money would be proposed along with the Army Estimates of the year, and when the subject was brought before the House he would enter into details on the measures requisite to carry these intentions into effect.
