HC Deb 02 August 1898 vol 63 c850
MR. R. WALLACE (Edinburgh)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether any progress has been made in forming a bearer company in connection with the 4th Brigade, Edinburgh Volunteers; and, in such event, whether the existing stretcher detachments attached to the various battalions will be retained?

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

The question is still under consideration, whether a Volunteer brigade shall have a separate bearer company, or whether it shall be composed of detachments from the several battalions.
