§ MR. McCRAE (Edinburgh, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed, under the new Army Scheme, to reduce the expenditure on the Regular Army by £792,000 on a total expenditure of £26,890,000; and to reduce the expenditure on the Volunteer Force by £300,000 on a total expenditure of £1,220,000, equal to a reduction of one-fourth of the present Estimates.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERIt is not possible within the limits of a reply to a Question to give the hon. Member the information he requires, but all proposals with regard to expenditure will appear in the Army Estimates, which will shortly be submitted to the House. It is not proposed to make any reduction on the Volunteer Vote for the coming year.
