§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)To ask the Secretary of State for War if, having regard to the opportunities for consecutive training of the 30,000 Volunteers in London through out the year and to the zeal of all ranks, the brigade system recommended by the Norfolk Commission, and about to be adopted in provincial districts, will also be established in the metropolitan area.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It is not proposed at present to extend the system by which each brigade of Volunteers will have a commander to itself to those brigades which are under regiments of Foot Guards. The advisability of such extension will, however, be carefully considered.
