§ MR. BLACK (Banffshire)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether 211 the Government has resolved to abandon its scheme of Army reform in order to adopt en bloc that pat forward by the War Office Reconslitution Committee.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe hon. Gentleman appears to think that Army reform and War Office reform are incompatible alternatives. That is not the view of His Majesty's Government. We hope to deal with both.
§ MR. BLACKCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Army Corps scheme has been abandoned by the Government?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI think the hon. Gentleman had better wait until he hears the general scheme of Army reform which we hope to be able to lay before the House.
