§ Captain ELLIOTasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the Scots Greys are not to return to Scotland after their tour of duty in Palestine and Egypt, but are to be sent to India, he is aware that much indignation is felt in Scotland on account of this proposal; and whether he can see his way to allow Scotland to have its cavalry regiment again, as has been so often promised?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI am aware of the circumstances of the case, but, in view particularly of the recent necessary reduction in the number of cavalry regiments, it is impossible to exempt any one line regiment from taking its turn in the roster for foreign service. To take such a, course would be very unfair to the other regiments concerned.
