HC Deb 10 April 1876 vol 228 c1484
MR. CHARLES LEWIS

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he will state to the House the reason for the arrangement that, contrary to the universal practice hitherto, the annual training of the Londonderry Regiment of Light Infantry Militia is not to be held this year at or near the city of Derry, but at Moneymore, a small town of about 300 inhabitants, at the extreme verge of the county?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY

, in reply, said, the annual training of the Londonderry Regiment of Light Infantry Militia was to be held that year at Money more, because Londonderry had been reported against on the score of insufficient accommodation, and the officer in command of the district had advocated a camp at Moneymore, and his suggestion had been approved by the Irish Government.
