HC Deb 04 March 1889 vol 333 cc834-5
MR. BRODIE HOARE (Hampstead)

asked the Secretary of State for War, if there was any reason why the arms and military equipment of the Honourable Company should not be returned to the Regiment, so that it may be able to resume its Military exercises.

MR. E. STANHOPE

I have every hope that new regulations will be laid down very shortly for securing the military discipline of this ancient corps by bringing it under the control of the War Office. As soon as this is done, and a Lieutenant-Colonel and Adjutant has been appointed, his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief will be prepared to direct the immediate re-issue of the arms.
