§ Mr. WATTasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Lowland divisional orders, issued by the Territorial organisation in Glasgow, dated 16th April, contain an invitation to members of the National Reserve to take part in forming a guard of honour to Lord Roberts, on his intended visit there; whether he is aware that the utilisation of these orders for such purpose is resented by some members of the National Reserve; and whether he will stop such action in the future, in view of the fact that the Territorials do not meet with the approval of that distinguished field marshal?
§ Colonel SEELYThe Lowland divisional orders did not contain any invitation to members of the National Reserve to form a guard of honour to Lord Roberts. The order referred to was issued by the commandant National Reserve, who has been informed that in future he is not to give the heading of "Lowland Divisional Orders" to any orders published by him.
