§ 51. Mr. LYNCHasked whether at any time the President of the United States, the President of the French Republic, or the President of the Portuguese Republic 1185 have been offered the honour of being enrolled as honorary officers of the British Army, and if not, whether the present honorary officerships will be brought to an end within a given term and the whole system abolished?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am not aware that any offers of this description have been made. There is no intention to abolish the present system, so far as I am aware.
