HC Deb 04 August 1882 vol 273 c753
SIR HENRY FLETCHER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he is satisfied with the results of Her Majesty's Proclamation calling out the First Class of the Army Reserves?

MR. CHILDERS

Sir, I am happy to be able to tell the hon. and gallant Baronet that the Returns up to the present time are quite satisfactory. Some have not yet come in; but those which have been received, I confess, surprise me, considering the very short notice the men had.
