§ MR. PEEL (Manchester, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the number of Imperial Yeomanry subaltern officers is below the establishment, and that the Yeomanry force has now been made subject to the Militia Act of 1882, he would consider the advisability of allowing Yeomanry officers to obtain commissions in line regiments, as is the case in the Militia.
§ MR. BRODRICKYes, Sir. It is proposed to give Yeomanry officers this advantage. A Yeomanry subaltern must have attended two full Yeomanry trainings without any leave, and be recommended by his commanding officer to be allowed to compete (on same terms as a Militia subaltern) for a cavalry commission.
