HC Deb 31 July 1890 vol 347 c1359
CAPTAIN VERNEY (Bucks, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards on full pay, is in any degree responsible for the discipline and efficiency of that regiment, or whether the appointment is a paid sinecure?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as the Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, is in the same position as all other honorary colonels, and is in no way responsible for the discipline and efficiency of the regiment.
