LORD BURGHLEYasked the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether there would be any objection to make provision in the next Militia Estimates for Brigading Regiments for Review during the last week of the Annual Training?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONsaid, he was not able to give a definite answer to the Question of his noble Friend, the matter being one that must be reserved for consideration when the next Estimates were being prepared. It was not simply a matter of expense. He was aware that reviews of the kind proposed would be very acceptable to a great many militia officers; but there were other very good officers who would not like to give up the time that would be necessary. The subject, however, should receive the attention of the War Office.
