HC Deb 20 May 1897 vol 49 c937
GENARAL RUSSELL (Cheltenham)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government have come to any decision respecting the introduction of a Manœuvres Bill this Session, so as to allow for arrangements being made in good time to permit manœuvres on an extended scale being practised next year?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I think it would be desirable to introduce this Bill in its new and, I hope, more acceptable form in the course of the present Session. Whether it will be possible to make any progress with it, will depend upon the reception it meets with. I could not promise any important fraction of Parliamentary time for its discussion.
