HC Deb 27 February 1899 vol 67 c596
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the proposal to call up the Ross-shire Militia for annual training in the month of July instead of April, as hitherto, will seriously interfere with the avocations of many of the men who earn their livelihood as fishermen, will he consider the expediency of continuing the training during the month of April?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. J. POWELL WILLIAMS,) Birmingham, S.

The proposal has been dropped, and the training will take place in Scotland at a time suitable to the convenience of the battalion.
