HC Deb 21 April 1871 vol 205 c1465
MR. CHARLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he is willing to advise Her Majesty to recognize the position of Volunteer Officers by extending to them, if otherwise eligible, the privilege of being presented at Court on promotion, at present enjoyed by officers of the Army and of the Militia?

MR. CARDWELL

said, in reply, that the privilege of presentation at the Queen's Court did not fall within his province, but depended on Her Majesty's commands expressed to the Lord Chamberlain.
