HC Deb 15 December 1902 vol 116 c1211
*SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any final decision has yet been come to in reference to the disbandment, or to the increase above the numbers named in the Estimate, of the Chinese regiment.

MR. BRODRICK

It has recently been decided to retain the Chinese regiment, to consist of four companies, with a total strength of about 400 men.
