§ MAJOR O'GORMANasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Royal Warrant on Army Promotion and Retirement will be issued before the Parliamentary Session of 1877 concludes?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY,in reply, said, he must repeat what he had said on a former occasion—that every means had been taken to urge the parties concerned in it to get through their business as soon as possible, for his sincere desire was, having in view the interests of the officers, to bring the Government scheme on the subject before the House without any unnecessary delay.
