HC Deb 23 March 1877 vol 233 c379
COLONEL KENNARD

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is his intention to carry out, either fully or partially, the recommendations of the Committee of Inquiry on the subject of Boy Enlistment for the Army, and embodied in their Report, which has been lately presented?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY,

in reply, said, he regarded with favour some of the recommendations of the Committee referred to; but the present condition of recruiting rendered acting on such recommendations not so urgent as it would otherwise have been. It should, however, receive the favourable consideration of the Department.
