§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL,who had given Notice of the following Motion:—
That experience shows that no system will provide adequately for the military requirements of the British Empire which does not provide for two distinct classes of soldiers, short service men to stay at home and form a reserve for defence, and long service men to form a professional army to serve in India and distant Foreign possessions,said, that, in the present state of Business, he would not now attempt to raise so large a question. He only hoped the Secretary of State for War would take into consideration the question which his Notice raised. He quite admitted that the right hon. Gentleman had made changes which went somewhat in the direction indicated; and he hoped the right hon. Gentleman might go further some day. He did not think we would have a sufficient army in India until we allowed those who were suited by clime and taste to remain in India as long as they liked.
