HC Deb 12 March 1901 vol 90 c1331
CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is in a position to state approximately the dates upon which it is proposed to disband the different reserve regiments of cavalry and infantry.

LORD STANLEY

I cannot give exact dates. The regiments will disband at the conclusion of a year s service, or earlier in cases in which a Ceneral Officer Commanding recommends it.

CAPTAIN NORTON

Will the officers be disbanded at the same time as the men?

LORD STANLEY

In a great many cases they will, but not in all cases.
