§ MR. CORNWALLIS (Maidstone)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War upon what principle under Army Order 152, November 1898, are officers and non-commissioned officers of the Kent Yeomanry Brigade sent for instruction to Aldershot, whilst officers and non-commissioned officers of the Berkshire and Middlesex Yeomanry are sent to Shorncliffe, and officers and noncommissioned officers of the Hampshire and Dorset Yeomanry are sent to Canterbury?
§ MR. WYNDHAMCavalry regiments at Aldershot are in a better position to give instruction to Yeomanry officers than Cavalry regiments at other stations. It is, therefore, desirable to ensure that the special advantages of Aldershot shall be open to all Yeomanry officers in turn, and not confined to those of the neighbouring counties. For this reason it has been arranged that the officers of the two regiments of the Kent Yeomanry Brigade are to be trained at Aldershot this year. To avoid inconvenience to individual officers, exchanges are permitted.
