§ MAJOR NOLANasked the Secretary of State for War, If, before those clauses or schedules in the Army Discipline and Regulation Bill which treat of billeting and carriage are reached, he will enable the House to discuss the scale of prices for billets, &c. by appointing a preliminary money committee with the recommendation of the Crown?
§ COLONEL STANLEYSir, I have communicated with my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and I think before we reach Part III. of the Army Discipline Bill and the Schedule, which deals with prices, I shall be able to give the hon. and gallant Gentleman an answer to his Question, if he will be good enough to repeat it. There are certain clauses of the Bill as to billeting which we shall have to consider almost immediately; but they refer merely to the conduct of the soldiers, and I presume the Question does not refer to that.
