§ MR. E. R. RUSSELL (Glasgow, Bridgeton)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What will be the official relation between General Sir Redvers Buller and the Inspector General; and, whether the powers of the Inspector General will be curtailed in consequence of General Buller's appointment?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.)There will be no curtailment of the powers of the Inspector General in consequence of Sir Redvers Buller's appointment. The relations between the In- 376 spector General and Sir Redvers Buller will be, as I understand them, precisely the same as the relations which now exist between the Inspector General and Captain Plunket.
