HC Deb 11 February 1884 vol 284 cc435-6
MR. JUSTIN M'CARTHY

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he has any objection to lay before the House a Return showing the number of Commissions obtained by Military Staff Clerks of the General Staff, as compared with the numbers of those obtained by Non-Commissioned Officers of all other branches of the Service?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Sir, the hon. Member can have the Return if he will move for it as for a definite period—say the last five years.
