HC Deb 17 March 1896 vol 38 c1166
CAPTAIN JESSEL (St. Pancras, S.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Cavalry Drill Book, 1891, has been out of print for a year, and that no copies of the new Drill Book, with the exception of a few official ones printed in January last, are at present obtainable; and whether, having regard to the grave inconvenience caused to officers, and especially to non-commissioned officers, he will take steps in future to prevent delay in the issue of an adequate supply of Drill Books to the Army?

* MR. BRODRICK

The new Drill Book is now in course of issue. The editing and compression of this work was a matter of considerable difficulty and necessarily occupied several months.
