HC Deb 28 March 1881 vol 260 c9
SIR R. ASSHETON CROSS,

who had given Notice to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether, before the Second Reading of the Army Discipline and Regulation (Annual) Bill, he will lay upon the Table of the House a Copy of the Rules to be made by him with respect to summary punishment under the 4th Clause, wished to know whether the Rules, as printed this morning, were the final Rules?

MR. CHILDERS

observed, that no Notice had been given of the latter Question. The Secretary of State had power to make Rules from time to time; but for the present the Rules, as published, were final.
