§ Mr. EDWARD WOODasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the annual training of the York and Durham Infantry Brigade has been fixed to take place at Haltwhistle, Northumberland, from 18th June to 2nd July; and whether, as such an arrangement will deprive many of the men of the full enjoyment of the national holiday on the occasion of the King's Coronation, and a" the absence of the troops from local centres on that day will cause disappointment, he will consider the desirability of an alteration of the date?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Seely)The training of this brigade has been fixed as stated. The place and dates are those recommended by the general officer commanding-in-chief, Northern Command, after full consideration of all the circumstances, and it is not therefore considered desirable to make any alteration.
