HC Deb 23 July 1889 vol 338 c1097
SIR WALTER FOSTEE (Derby, Ilkeston)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether members of yeomanry Cavalry Corps, when up for annual training, and members of Rifle Volunteer Corps, when in camp, are supposed to be subject to Military discipline in having1 to ask leave of the Officers commanding before returning to their homes for a night?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

Members of Yeomanry Corps, when up for annual training, are under the Army Act, and subject to Military Law as soldiers. Members of Rifle Volunteer Corps in regimental camps are not under the Army Act, but are under discipline under the Volunteer Act, and cannot quit their duties without first obtaining leave from their commanding officer.
