§ MR. HUNTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will explain why double the number of non-commissioned officers in the Guards regiments stationed at Windsor have to attend afternoon parades as can have practice in drilling the men; and whether, seeing that such regulation deters good soldiers from desiring to become non-commissioned officers, and that trained private soldiers do not have to attend afternoon parades, he will consider the advisability of withdrawing this regulation.
§ *MR. ARNOLD - FORSTERThese matters rest within the discretion of the officer commanding the battalion, with which I do not propose to interfere.
