HC Deb 21 March 1893 vol 10 c660
MR. DUNBAR BARTON (for Mr. LONG)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any decision has been arrived at with regard to the Yeomanry regiments whose maximum strength has been fixed at three squadrons; and whether he is prepared to give them a year's grace in order to see if they can keep and maintain four squadrons; and, if so, whether he will permit them to retain an extra troop sergeant major for the said 12 months?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I have every desire to make some concession in this direction, if possible; but it must depend on the extent to which the other contemplated reductions are carried out.
