MR. BOSCAWENOn behalf of the hon. Member for the Central Division of Sheffield, I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if, having regard to the belief of some employers that if they give facilities for the Volunteers in their employ to go into camp for at least fourteen days, as required by the War Office, they will be expected to do the same every year, he will once more give a positive assurance that this special effort is only made this year, in consequence of the number of Regular troops out of the country.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMMay I remind my hon. and gallant friend of words which I used on the 12th March?—
I wish the House to understand distinctly that this is an emergency scheme for this year and this year only …. I wish the House to keep it in mind that it is because we are in a year of emergency, and it is because the Militia are embodied, that we make these emergency proposals with regard to the Volunteers, "†
