ARMY—THE FIRST CLASS ARMY RESERVE.

HC Deb 30 November 1882 vol 275 cc377-8

MR. STEWART MACLIVER

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he can state when the remaining portion of the First Class Army Reserve now serving with the Colours are likely to be demobilized?

SIR ARTHUR HAYTER (for Mr. CHILDERS)

It is hoped that a further demobilization of the Army Reserve may be carried out shortly; and the War Office is now in communication with Sir Archibald Alison, as the General Commanding in Egypt, on the subject.
