§ CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he can state whether the regulations permit a Militiaman to purchase his discharge for the sum of £1, and then, presuming he is otherwise eligible, to join a Royal Reserve battalion, which renders him liable for one year's home service only, and obtain for that year's service the sum of £22 in addition to his daily pay.
*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS (for Mr. WYNDHAM)All discharges by purchase from Militia units, whether embodied or not, have been suspended until further orders.
