§ MR. J. HOLMSasked the Secretary of State for War, When the Return showing the number of Commissioned Officers in the Army and Auxiliary Forces, moved for on the 5th August 1875, will be in the hands of Members?
MR. GATHORNE HARDYI must inform the hon. Gentleman that the preparation of this Return has involved enormous labour, and the labour of printing it is almost equal to that of preparing it. I hope, however, it will be in the hands of hon. Members within a week.
