§ Sir ROBERT HOBARTasked the Secretary of State for War, whether it is with his authority that a public announcement has been made that three brigades of the Territorial Forces of the Southern Command will be trained during August in the New Forest; whether he is aware that the Court of Verderers of the New Forest has not received six months' notice of the proposed manœuvres, as required by The Military Manœuvres Act, 1897; and what arrangements he proposed to make for the protection of the rights of the commoners over the New Forest?
§ Mr. HALDANE:I am making enquiries and will communicate their result to my hon. Friend. The announcement was not made with my authority.
