HC Deb 26 March 1885 vol 296 c681
MR. RITCHIE

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in view of the Message from the Crown on the subject of calling out the Reserves, it was the intention of the Government to embody any more battalions of Militia than those already embodied?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

I believe that my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he brought up the Message, stated that Monday would be the day when Her Majesty's Message would be taken into consideration; and I think it would be more convenient to go into the subject then.
