HC Deb 01 March 1897 vol 46 c1328
MR. D. SULLIVAN

On behalf of the hon. Member for North Kildare, (Mr. ENGLEDOW), I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the Officer commanding the 8th Battalion of the King's Royal Rifle Corps has sent in his resignation; and if so, in the interests of the regiment, will he recommend for the consideration of the Field Marshal Commander-in-Chief the appointment of a Commanding Officer who has formerly served in the Regular Army?

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

The Commanding Officer has resigned. It rests with the Field Marshal Commanding in Ireland to recommend a successor.
