HC Deb 18 February 1901 vol 89 cc299-300
SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if, having regard to the order issued last week that no camp allowances will be granted as heretofore for the Easter training of Volunteers, he will cause to be notified without delay the regulations it is proposed to substitute, in order that regiments and individuals may make arrangements without delay for conforming thereto as far as practicable.

* MR. BRODRICK

The military authorities do not consider that the advantage gained by the short Easter training of Volunteers is sufficient to justify the issue of camp allowances. The general scheme of camp arrangements for the year is being carefully considered, and every effort will be made to issue regulations as early as possible.
