§ MR. PAUL (Edinburgh, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will favourably consider an application to raise a second company of the Volunteer Medical Staff Corps in Edinburgh, the present company being limited to the University, and not accessible to ordinary citizens?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANUnder present arrangements for mobilsation, there is not room for any more companies of the Volunteer Medical Staff Corps; but it is in contemplation, though not yet quite decided, that each Volunteer Field Brigade should raise a bearer company in its own district. If this proposal should take effect, the citizens of Edinburgh will have an opportunity of joining the bearer company of the Forth Brigade which has its headquarters in their city.
