HC Deb 12 March 1897 vol 47 c566
DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he will favourably consider the proposal to furnish the Cameron Highlanders with a second battalion by transferring to them the second battalion of the Connaught Rangers, formerly the 94th Regiment, and the representative of the old Scots Brigade?

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

To separate the battalion which was formerly the 94th Regiment from the Connaught Rangers and to combine it with another corps would, I fear, not be acceptable with the battalion affected; and, inasmuch as the 94th Regiment, which had been the old Scots Brigade, was disbanded in 1818, Lord Lansdowne feels that this is not a case in which the change would be advisable.
