§ MR. CARLILE (Buckinghamshire, N.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the strong feeling which exists in the county of Buckingham, as shown by a resolution of the Buckinghamshire County Council in favour of having a regiment bearing the name of the county, and having a county depot; and, if so, whether the War Office can see its way to form such a regiment.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe new battalions now being raised were designated in the Army Order of 21st February. For military purposes it was judged best to 694 add these new battalions to existing regiments, and I fear it will not be possible to accede to the wishes of the Buckinghamshire County Council.
