HC Deb 03 March 1887 vol 311 cc1061-2
MR. HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

asked the Secretary of State for War, What decision he has arrived at as regards the recommendations of the recent Committee on the Volunteer Force with regard to the increase in the capitation grant, the travelling allowance to ranges, and the premium on complete equipment?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. E. STANHOPE) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)

I must ask my hon. Friend, whose interest in the Volunteers is well known, to restrain his impatience for a few days more. The intentions of the Government with reference to the Volunteers and the recommendations of the Committee are explained in my Memorandum accompanying the Army Estimates, which will be circulated very shortly.
