HC Deb 26 October 1899 vol 77 c730
SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the Government proposals for a reorganisation of the Guernsey Militia have been agreed to; how, and when, they are likely to come into force; and whether the Militia of the other islands (Jersey and Sark, for example) are also to be reorganised.

*MR. WYNDHAM

The question of the Channel Islands Militia is still under consideration.

*SIR CHARLES DILKE

Is the statement recently published about the Guernsey Militia premature, then?

*MR. WYNDHAM

There are rather complex constitutional problems involved which are different in the cases of the two islands, and it is not possible to settle the matter offhand.
