§ Mr. REESasked the Secretary of State for War whether general military requirements and the compensation of Welshpool for the loss of the Militia battalion can be in any respect reconciled, t, the end that this ancient town and its neighbourhood shall not be material losers by the military and public spirit, which have honourably characterised them for many generations?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe headquarters of the Montgomery Yeomanry and of a company of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers are at Welshpool, and the County Association has secured the Militia Barracks for them. The establishments of these troops are almost complete, and I hope there will be no diminution of military and public spirit in Welshpool and its neighbourhood, owing to the loss of the Militia.
