MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the attention of the Secretary of State for War has been directed to the Militia being without a transport service, and, in view of the absolute necessity of having the Militia provided with its own transport, will he issue an authority to each unit of Militia to detail an officer and a limited number of noncommissioned officers and men during the approaching preliminary drill and training to go through a course of instruction in transport duties?
§ MR. WYNDHAMIn the event of war the majority of the Militia regiments will be posted in garrisons, where transport will not be required. Transport is allotted to those regiments which will form part of the Field Army.
