§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is the practice of Volunteer corps to make out a statement of accounts annually and to issue a balance sheet to members; and, if so, will he explain why the London Scottish Volunteer corps has failed to issue a balance sheet for many years.
*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS (for Mr. WYNDHAM)A Volunteer corps is required to render to the War Office an annual account of its public funds and to exhibit a copy in the orderly room. The communication to the members of any statement of accounts of the private funds of the corps is not a matter within the jurisdiction of the War Office.
