§ MR. PARKER SMITH. (Lanark, Partick)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the Memorandum circulated among Members of Parliament by the Clan Cameron in regard to the 79th Cameron Highlanders; whether it is correct, as therein stated, that on 1st July, 1891, out of 770 men serving in the regiment, 623 were born in Scotland; that, on 1st January, 1892, out of 787 men serving in the regiment, 636 were born in Scotland; and that, on 23rd January, 1893, out of 1,010 men in the regiment, 576 were horn in Scotland; and whether the figures as to the recruiting of the regiment, given in the -Memorandum, are correct?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANMay I again ask my hon. Friend to allow this matter to stand over till the introduction of the Army Estimates, when I will deal fully with the matter.
