HC Deb 07 March 1904 vol 131 cc327-8
*SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if a decision has been taken to abolish the Army Corps system; and, if not, why the words, Commanding Army Corps, have been dropped from Vote 1, Appendix 1, of the Army Estimates.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

My right hon. friend the Secretary for War informs me that the omission of the terminology in question had nothing whatever to do with any question of policy at all and was determined on long before the War Office Reorganisation Report was made.
