HC Deb 19 March 1883 vol 277 c801
MR. MONTAGU SCOTT

asked the Surveyor General of the Ordnance, If it is the case that the loan of harness has been refused for the guns of Metropolitan and other Volunteer Artillery attending the Easter Monday Review at Brighton; and, as this convenience has been granted on former occasions, whether he will reconsider the request?

MR. BRAND

Sir, a corps of Volunteer Artillery applied for a loan of harness from the Government. Such a loan being contrary to the Regulations of the Volunteer Service, it was refused; but as the enforcement of the refusal would have put this corps at such a time to considerable inconvenience, the harness has been lent to the corps as a special case.
