§ MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)I beg to ask the Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the 1st Gloucestershire Royal Engineers' band is advertised to take part in a Unionist demonstration at Ledbury; whether the above-named band is the band of a Volunteer regiment; and, whether he will take any action in the matter?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordThe band of the 1st Gloucestershire Engineer Volunteers accepted an engagement to play at a fête at Ledbury under the impression that the fête was not political. On learning that the contrary was the case, the engagement was cancelled.
