§ SIR HENRY HAVELOCKasked the Secretary of State for "War," Whether, now that a Vote of Six Millions has been granted for increasing the efficiency of the Naval and Military Services, he will take steps to complete the First and Second Army Corps with transport carriages, ambulance and ammunition trains, so as to place some portion of 377 the Army on a footing of readiness for service at short notice? The Question, he added, was not put in view of the position of affairs in the East of Europe, but in reference to a permanent want in the Army.
MR. GATHORNE HARDYI can inform the hon. and gallant Member that the points to which he refers have not been neglected. Everything is ready for the First Army Corps, and a good deal has been got ready for the Second. I am using every exertion to attain the end which the hon. and gallant Gentleman describes.
