HC Deb 22 July 1903 vol 125 c1440
MR. BROADHURST (Leicester)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will bring to the cognisance of the various officers in command of the different regiments of the Army His Majesty's statement that he felt quite as much honoured when his health was drunk by young officers in the Navy in water as in wine.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) The custom of drinking His Majesty's health is not prescribed by regulations, and therefore no official cognisance can be taken of the mode of drinking the health.
