§ SIR HENRY HAVELOCKasked the Secretary of State for War, When it is likely that the Report of the Royal Commission on Promotion and Retirement in the Army, which was assembled in November 1874, will be laid before the House?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, he was sorry he was unable to give the hon. Gentleman the information he asked for. The Commission had been very actively engaged on the subject, but the actuarial calculations would take a longer time than was expected. He hoped the Commission would be able to report in the course of two or three months; but, of course, he was not able to say until that Report had been received what course he could pursue in regard to it during the present Session.
