§ Sir J. Leechasked the Secretary of State for War whether, with a view to closer control of the transference of troops from one locality to another so that without hindering efficient training there may be no unnecessarily frequent shifting of troops, he will satisfy himself that, in every case, there is justification for large or small bodies of men being shifted from place to place at the frequent intervals now permitted?
§ Mr. StanleyIf the suggestion is that no move should take place without specific War Office authority, I do not consider such a rule is necessary or practicable. I think that my hon. Friend may rest assured that troops are not moved without justification.
