HC Deb 08 March 1872 vol 209 c1647
MR. WHEELHOUSE

asked the Secretary of State for War, What will be the position and military duties of Militia Surgeons under the new system of Army and Militia Localisation, more particularly in cases where the Head Quarters of Militia Regiments are transferred; will the services of the Surgeons be still required for attendance on the Staff, for the inspection of recruits, and during the annual training; and, if the services of the Surgeons are dispensed with, will they receive compensation for the loss of their appointments?

MR. CARDWELL

, in reply, said, the services of Militia surgeons would not be required when the new system was introduced for attendance on Staff or for the inspection of recruits; but they would be required, he apprehended, during the annual trainings.
