HC Deb 16 June 1881 vol 262 c648
COLONEL ALEXANDER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, looking at the near approach of the 1st of July, he would consider the advisability of postponing to the 1st of October the operation of the Royal Warrant?

MR. CHILDERS

No, Sir; that would be attended with very great inconvenience. I was about to lay on the Table the amended Memorandum on the subject of the arrangements in respect to Army Organization, and it will be in the hands of Members to-morrow.
