COLONEL ARBUTHNOT

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he is prepared to state the action which Her Majesty's Government will take with reference to the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into the conditions of service of officers in the Ordnance Corps, and other matters relating thereto?

COLONEL LOYD LINDSAY

, in reply, said, that his right hon. and gallant Friend (Colonel Stanley) had the appointment of the Commission under his careful consideration. The hon. and gallant Gentleman himself would admit that it was a matter of considerable difficulty and some delicacy. His right hon. and gallant Friend would shortly be able to state what action he could take.
