asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Reports of the Inspecting Officers of Yeomanry Cavalry, containing recommendations relative to the necessity of increasing the pay of Adjutants of Yeomanry Regiments, have been received; and, if so, whether it is the intention of the Government to comply at an early date with those recommendations?

Sir, one of the Reports has been received, but not the other. The subject is one which requires and will receive careful consideration.
