HC Deb 19 February 1891 vol 350 c1061
VISCOUNT WOLMER (Hants, Petersfield)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what alterations in the scale of Militia camp equipment have been made to provide greater comfort for Militiamen under canvas?

٭ MR. E. STANHOPE

By recent regulations' tents are issued to Militia when training at the rate of one for every 10 men, instead of, as formerly, one for every 12 men; and a wooden tent-bottom, or waterproof sheeting is issued for every tent, instead of the issue being limited to cases of very inclement weather.
