§ 61. Mr. CRAWSHAY-WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for War whether the dates for training of the Leicestershire Royal Horse Artillery, namely, practice camp on Salisbury Plain, 18th to 27th May, and Army manœuvres, 21st to 27th September, were approved by the Northern Command early in April; whether on 5th May a communication was received by the officer commanding the Leicestershire Royal Horse Artillery informing him that the battery should not arrive on Salisbury Plain until 20th May; and whether, in view of the fact that all arrangements have been made for the training as first approved, contracts made and men notified, and in further view of the fact that the new dates afford only one day for preparation for practice, he will cause the former arrangements to be adhered to?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. H. J. Tennant)I hope to be able to restore the original arrangements in this case.
