§ MR. HOZIER (Lanark, S.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether a Scotsman wishing to join a Scottish Cavalry Regiment can enlist especially for the Royal Scots Greys, or can only enlist for the corps of Dragoons, on the chance of being allowed to complete his service in the Royal Scots Greys?
MR. POWELL WILLIAMSCavalry recruits are informed on enlistment that they are liable to be posted to other regiments of the same corps, but that every effort will be made to meet their desire for service in a particular regiment. The Scots Greys come under this rule.
§ MR. JEFFREYS (Hants, N.)May I ask whether a new arrangement has not been made by which soldiers can enlist in particular cavalry regiments?
MR. POWELL WILLIAMSSoldiers do enlist in particular cavalry regiments, 1021 and they remain in those regiments subject to the convenience of the service.
