COLONEL MITREasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to take into consideration the case of Surgeons of Militia, who, by the Clauses of the Royal Warrant, dated War Office, 19th July 1876, and the instructions of the Secretary of State thereon, have been deprived of the larger proportion of the income derived from their appointments?
MR. GATHORNE HARDYThe subject has received a good deal of consideration, and I have been requested to receive a deputation after Easter from a medical body in the Metropolis who have taken up the subject of Militia training, and I shall be prepared to give every consideration to the statements they may make. With respect to the subject of the treatment of the Militia medical service, that also is under consideration, and it will depend to some extent upon the condition of the Militia service.
