§ MR. GIBBS (Bristol, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether while in camp during their annual trainings, the sole use of one tent is granted to each officer of Militia and Volunteers; and, if so, whether seeing that in the Yeomanry, officers below the rank of field officer are only allowed one tent between two, orders will be issued to place the Yeomanry officer on the same footing as the Militia and Volunteer officer.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The Yeomanry officer is on the same footing as an officer of the Regular Forces. The Militia have been treated exception- 692 ally owing to the length of their camps; but the question of treating all forces on the same lines as the Regular Forces is now receiving consideration.
