§ MR. FRASER-MACKINTOSH (Invernessshire)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether militiamen are bound to perform work on Sundays not obligatory in the regular Army, such as practice in forming sections, kit inspection, &c.?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR OFFICE (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordThe Militia when under training are subject to exactly the same regulations as men in the regular Army.
§ MR. FRASER-MACKINTOSHIf I bring some particulars of the case before the hon. Gentleman will he inquire into it?
§ MR. BRODRICKNo, Sir, it is impossible to make any different reply, because what a militiaman is called upon to do he must do the same as a regular soldier. The hon. Member is probably aware that soldiers are not, as a rule, required to perform unnecessary work on Sunday.
