HC Deb 22 June 1871 vol 207 c397
EARL PERCY

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in the event of the Army Regulation Bill becoming Law, officers now serving as Adjutants in the Reserve Forces will be called upon to resign their commissions; and, if not, upon what conditions they will be permitted to retain them?

MR. CARDWELL

Officers who have obtained adjutancies since the introduction of the Bill have received notice that they take them subject to any regulations which may hereafter be made with respect to their tenure and duties. Adjutants appointed before will hold their appointments on the old conditions, so long as they continue to discharge their duties faithfully.
