HC Deb 21 April 1871 vol 205 c1465
MAJOR DICKSON (for Major WALKER)

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the case that small-pox is now prevalent in the town of Chichester; whether the Royal Sussex Militia is about to assemble there for training; whether, owing to the insufficiency of the barrack accommodation, a considerable portion of the men must be billeted in the town; and, whether it would not be better, under the circumstances, to move the Regiment to Aldershot Camp?

MR. CARDWELL

said, in reply, that he was not prepared to say that the small-pox was prevalent in Chichester, though there had been some cases; and the best mode of dealing with the Militia was now the subject of a Correspondence between the War Office and the Lord Lieutenant of that county.
