HC Deb 06 May 1903 vol 121 cc1509-10
CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can name the exceptional circumstances under which it is proposed to take for service in India men who have been enlisted for three years only.

LORD STANLEY

Circumstances may arise which might make this course necessary, and the answer given was intended to convey that we do not debar ourselves from taking such action.
