§ CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND (Colchester)I beg to ask the Secretary for War whether it is his intention to carry out all or any of the recommendations of Lord Wantage's Committee; and, if so, would he state which?
§ *MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI think it will be better to postpone any statement on this subject (which cannot be adequately dealt with in reply to a question) till I introduce the Army Esti- 904 mates. But I may say, lest this reply should raise expectations on the part of the hon. Member, which I should afterwards, to my regret, have to disappoint, that the financial circumstances of the year are not such as to invite new projects of expenditure.
§ CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLANDWhen does the right hon. Gentleman expect to introduce the Army Estimates?
§ *MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThey cannot he introduced until a certain time after Committee of Supply has been set up, and Committee of Supply cannot be set up until the Address has been voted. Perhaps the hon. and gallant Member will use his influence to secure the adoption of the Address.
