§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, having regard to the number of deaths from heat-apoplexy reported from Aldershot last season at a Field-day held by the Duke of Cambridge, it is his intention to cause orders to be issued directing Regimental, Brigade, and Divisional Field-days to be held in the early morning during this summer in all the three kingdoms?
MR. CHILLERSYes, Sir; by a Circular issued last year, all parades and field-days were ordered to be held in the early morning and evening while the hot weather continued. This will be repeated this year.
