§ COLONEL LLEWELLYN (Somersetshire, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended this year 1523 to adopt the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Militia and Volunteer Forces, namely, that officers should travel to and from their homes at the public expense when attending training or courses, or called up for duty.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThe recommendation in question refers to Militia officers. As stated in the Memorandum on Army Estimates, until the reductions in the Militia therein referred to have taken place it will not be possible to give effect to the principal recommendations of the Commission. It has not, therefore, been found practicable to carry out the recommendation alluded to in the Question.
