§ MR. DUNBARasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he will extend to the Medical Officers of the Army the right to exchange to the same extent as conceded to the other officers of the Army by the Act of last Session?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, that no right of exchange existed anywhere, because it was a matter of permission. But with respect to medical officers, every application for exchange was carefully considered and decided on its own merits; as a rule no application of a medical officer was refused; and he did not, therefore, propose to make any alteration on the subject.
