CAPTAIN FABER (Hampshire, Andover)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the advisability of having adjutants from the Regular Army for the Territorial Artillery batteries; and whether, with a view of saving the expense incurred thereby, he will reduce the number of Territorial batteries so as to balance the expense incurred by such adjutants.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. ACLAND,) Yorkshire, RichmondThis Question of the proportion of adjutants necessary for the Territorial Artillery has been very fully considered and it was held that one adjutant per brigade of Field Artillery and one per battery of Horse Artillery was sufficient.
§ MR. ASHLEYput two Supplementary Questions, both of which were inaudible.
