HC Deb 02 November 1882 vol 274 c658
COLONEL ALEXANDER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he is aware that an Order has been promulgated allowing ten per cent, of the men of certain Regiments stationed in the United Kingdom to proceed on furlough, but rigidly excluding the men belonging to the Army Reserve, and that great discontent has thereby been caused amongst the latter?

MR. CHILDERS

No, Sir; nothing is known of this order; but if the hon. and gallant Gentleman will be good enough to tell me privately on what he founds his Question, I will look into the matter.
