§ GENERAL GOLDSWORTHY, (for Admiral Sir JOHN COMMERELL) (Southampton)asked the Secretary of State for War, If it is true, as stated by The Army and Navy Gazette, that only 3,000 Volunteers (mostly from the home counties) are to be allowed to have a week's training at Aldershot; and, if so, taking into consideration the smallness of the Capitation Grant, which precludes on the ground of expense of the formation of a separate camp, he will reconsider his decision?
§ THE SURVEYOR GENERAL OF ORDNANCE (Mr. WOODALL) (Hanley)(on behalf of the Secretary of State): No, Sir; it is not the case. Invitations for Aldershot have been sent for 6,975 Volunteers. Besides these, 1,172 men of the Artillery and Engineer Volunteers are to join camps at Devonport and Chatham.
