asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he can state, or will he agree to a return showing, the number of officers in the British Army on full pay of and above the rank of colonel commandant and colonel on the staff; what troops they are commanding; or in what manner they are employed?

The details of such a return are not, I think, of sufficient general interest to warrant its being printed, but I am sending the hon. and gallant Member information privately.
