§ *SIR C. W. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether the, number of men discharged on completion of service and under Section 81 of the Army Act of 1881 was in 1893 greatly inferior to the number discharged as invalids, by purchase of their discharge, by the indulgence of a free discharge, as not likely to ever become efficient, on conviction, or for misconduct?
§ *THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN,&c.) Stirling,The number of men discharged from the Army on completion of their service and under Section 81 of the Army Act, is about double the number of those discharged on account of the other causes referred to in the question. The right hon. Baronet has apparently overlooked the men discharged on completion of their reserve service.
