§ MR. A. L. LEVER (Essex, Harwich)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether, having regard to the falling off in the number of Auxiliary Forces, Militia, Yeomanry, and Volunteers, which go to Colchester for their annual training, and in view of the special facilities offered for musketry by the existing ranges, and for manœuvring and field exercises by the additional Government ground acquired in the immediate neighbourhood of Middle wick and vicinity, he will augment the numbers this year so that the Auxiliary Forces may participate in the advantages to be derived from a standing camp.
§ MR. HALDANEThe arrangements for the training of the Auxiliary Forces in the Eastern Command have already been made for this year by the General Officer Commanding in Chief, and I am afraid that no changes can now be made.
