§ DR. MACGREGOR (Inverness-shire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in order to encourage efficient rifle shooting by the Scottish Volunteers, he will consider the expediency of making an annual grant to each corps in the form of prizes, and thus obviate the necessity of appealing to the public for subscriptions towards this object?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANNo, Sir; I do not know why any difference should be made between Scottish Volunteers and English, and I think the giving of prizes is best left as hitherto—to local effort.
§ DR. MACGREGORI shall call attention to this matter on the Estimates.
