§ Mr. ASHLEYasked whether the free conveyance of an officer's wife and family when he is sent away on duty is still confined to conveyance by sea, or whether this privilege has been extended to moves made by land?
§ Mr. FULLERThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second part in the negative.
§ Mr. ASHLEYWill the hon. Gentleman say why when it is right to pay the carriage of the conveyance of an officer's wife and family by sea it is not so by land?

§ Mr. ASHLEYWill the War Office receive representations on the subject?
§ Mr. FULLERI really have nothing to add.
