HC Deb 07 March 1893 vol 9 c1243
VISCOUNT NEWARK (Notts., Newark)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Provisional Infantry Drill Book issued last year has now been finally adopted; and, if not, whether the Auxiliary Forces are, in future, to be required to learn and unlearn experimental systems?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The Infantry Drill Book of 1892 is still provisional. When it is finally adopted a revised edition, showing the alterations which have been approved, will be issued; the Militia and Volunteers are required to practise the drill in force for the time being for the Regular Forces.
