MR. PORESTERasked the Secretary of State for India, Whether, looking at the fact that every administrative battalion of Volunteers has now been consolidated, and that the present Acts and Regulations refer almost entirely to administrative battalions, the Government intend to take any, and, if so, what steps to remodel the existing Acts and Regulations so as to adapt them to the new system?
§ MR. CHILDERSSir, in reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that the consolidation of the Volunteer Force is not quite completed; but when it is, the revision of the Volunteer Regulations will be at once taken up. The preliminary steps have been already taken.
