§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he can now give any further information as to the duties of the eight majors of an infantry regiment under the proposed territorial organisation, and especially whether they will pay companies?
§ MR. CHILDERSSir, in reply to my hon. and gallant Friend, I have to state that the captains promoted to be majors will continue to perform their present company duties, including payment of the men; but they will be mounted. No change will, as a rule, be made in the duties of existing majors until they are promoted.
