§ COLONEL WYNDHAM MURRAY (Bath)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the Scots Guards have ever been quartered in Scot- 832 land; and whether, in the interests of recruiting, he would consider the advisability of quartering those battalions occasionally in the country from which they take their name?
§ MR. BRODRICKThe Scots Guards have not been quartered in Scotland since 1803; it is no doubt desirable in the interest of recruiting to quarter the Scottish regiments from time to time in Scotland, but in the case of the Scots Guards I fear I cannot hold out any immediate hope that such an arrangement could be made.
