HC Deb 24 February 1898 vol 53 c1521
CAPTAIN DUNCAN V. PIRIE (Aberdeen, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether he can inform the House of the opinion of the Canadian Government on the proposal which was referred to it by Her Majesty's Government as to opening Canada for a territorial recruiting area; and whether steps have been taken to further the proposal of creating regimental districts in several greater Colonies of the Empire?

MR. BRODRICK

The opinion of the Canadian Government on this subject has not been communicated to Her Majesty's Government. I am not aware of any proposal to create regimental districts in any other Colony.
