HC Deb 23 February 1899 vol 67 c274
MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER (Belfast, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he will grant a return for 1898–9, in continuation of, and similar to, that entitled Army (length of service and ages of men in each unit), presented to Parliament during the Session of 1898?

MR. WYNDHAM

The return presented last year was of a very special nature, since it gave particulars as to the strength of each unit, and the Secretary of State is not prepared to repeat it. There is no objection to a return giving the total figures for each arm of the service.
