HC Deb 18 April 1905 vol 145 c441
* GENERAL LAURIE (Pembroke and Haverfordwest)

On behalf of the hon. Member for Montgomery Boroughs, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to abolish Volunteer brigade majors; and, if so, what officer is to make the necessary arrangements previous to and for brigade camps, and also what financial allowance will be made to such officer.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. ARNOLD-FORSTER,) Belfast, W.

There is no present intention of abolishing Volunteer brigade majors.

* GENERAL LAURIE

What will happen when the brigade majors have retired? Will the vacancies be filled?

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I must ask for notice of that.
