§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordMy hon. Friend is aware that a day has been promised for the discussion of this question before Whitsuntide, and the Secretary of State will take the opportunity of making a statement in regard to the recommendations of Lord Wantage's Committee.
