HC Deb 20 March 1879 vol 244 c1315
SIR ALEXANDER GORDON

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House, before the Second Beading of the Army Discipline and Regulation Bill, a Copy of the proposed Army Discipline Annual Act, by which the proposed permanent Army Discipline Act will be annually brought into operation?

COLONEL STANLEY,

in reply, said, he had no objection to lay on the Table of the House a Copy of the Bill referred to. The Bill in question simply recited the Preamble of the Mutiny Act, the number of men voted by Parliament, and, finally, attached the permanent Act. That was the whole substance of the measure.
