HC Deb 07 April 1893 vol 10 cc1709-10
CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to the letters that appear from time to time under the heading of "Life in the Ranks" in Lloyd's Weekly News; if not, will he endeavour to find out the writer of them, as the publication of such libels can but be prejudicial to the interests of the Service, especially when they purport to be written by someone in the Regular Army?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

These letters were only brought to my knowledge by the question of the hon. and gallant Member. I do not think they are worthy of attention. There is no occupation of which evil cannot be said by discontented persons. The best practical reply is that as many recruits for the Army are obtained as are required.
