§ MR. HAMBROasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in case of the Volunteers going into the proposed camps of instruction, their expenses will be paid, such as for travelling and rations; at what time of the year those camps will be held, and where; and, if all administrative battalions will have an opportunity of attending?
§ MR. CARDWELLIn the present year, 1,100 officers and men of the Artillery Volunteers have received 10s. a head for the expenses of their attendance at Shoeburyness, the very satisfactory results of which have been laid on the Table in Colonel Chermside's Reports. A sum of £10,000 is included in the present Estimates for a like purpose as regards both Artillery and Rifle Volunteers going to camps of instruction. Rations are issued when practicable at cost price. £8,500 are also taken for the allowance of 1s. a day to men attending brigade drills when ordered by the officers in command of districts.
