§ COLONEL NORTHasked, When the Returns which he had moved for on the 10th February with respect to the number of Regiments armed with breechloaders will be ready?
§ SIR HENRY STORKSsaid, the Returns were ready as far as regarded the troops serving in the United Kingdom and the Colonies; but, as his hon. and gallant Friend intimated that he wished to have the Return extended to India, it was necessary to send to that country for information. He had been informed by the Under Secretary that a letter was written on the 23rd of February to the Government of India requesting the information to be sent home with the least possible delay.
