HC Deb 06 June 1872 vol 211 c1275
LORD EUSTACE CECIL

asked the Secretary of State for War, When the Warrants regulating the first appointments and promotion of officers in the Engineers, Artillery, and Household Brigade will be published; and, whether any further regulations are to be issued with regard to promotion in the Militia; and how soon they may be expected to appear?

MR. CARDWELL

Sir, the Royal Warrant with regard to the Artillery and the Engineers has been sent for the consideration of the Treasury. As soon as it is returned it will be submitted for the sanction of Her Majesty, and after receiving that sanction it will be published. The Warrant with regard to the Household Brigade is ready, but has not yet been sent for the consideration of the Treasury. It is about to be so sent, and will be there treated in the same way that I have mentioned in reference to the other Warrant. The Warrants with regard to the Militia have been already published.

LORD EUSTACE CECIL

Are there any further regulations to be published?

MR. CARDWELL

The further regulations have been published already.
