HC Deb 07 May 1912 vol 38 cc207-8
Mr. LANE-FOX

asked when the promised Yeomanry drill book will be issued?

Colonel SEELY

I cannot give a date at present.

Mr. HICKS BEACH

Will it be issued this year?

Colonel SEELY

Certainly, this year.

Mr. HICKS BEACH

Before the Yeomanry go into training?

Colonel SEELY

It depends when the Yeomanry go into training—not in the course of the next week or so.

Mr. ASHLEY

Whether trained with the rifle or not?

Colonel SEELY

All that part which does not relate to shot tactics of course contains valuable information.

Mr. LANE-FOX

Is it of any use at this late season?

Colonel SEELY

It will be a very good book.

Major ARCHER-SHEE

Is the book still in course of preparation?

Colonel SEELY

Yes. I was reading part of it this morning.
