HC Deb 18 July 1889 vol 338 c738
SIR R. LETHBRIDGE

I desire to ask the Secretary of State for War a question of which I have given him private notice—namely, whether it will be possible to afford any facilities to Members of Parliament for witnessing the review at Aldershot which is to take place before the Emperor of Germany?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

It is proposed that the operations which are to take place at Aldershot on August 7, in the presence of the Emperor of Germany, should partake of the nature of manœuvres rather than of an ordinary review. Any Member of the House who desires to witness these will probably find that the best means of doing will be in carriages or on horseback. From the nature of the operations, it is obvious that it will not be possible to erect stands or enclosures. But I shall be glad to give very shortly all necessary information as to time and place.
