HC Deb 25 March 1873 vol 215 c110
MR. WINGFIELD BAKER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he has made or contemplates making any arrangements for calling out the Militia this year so as least to interfere with the interests of agricultural labourers and their employers, according to the different times that suit different parts of the country?

MR. CARDWELL

I am, Sir, always desirous to consider as much as possible the convenience both of the agricultural labourer and his employer. The state of the case is this:—The commanding officer suggests the time for calling out the regiment, and the general officer commanding in the district is instructed to enter into communication with him on the subject.
