asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the time being wasted by Regulars, and Territorials especially, on teaching at least two different forms of drill, he will expedite the publication of one simple smart drill for all arms for all purposes so that the Army in general may have more time to train for other essential purposes?

A new field drill has been devised and is being taught. This is very easy to learn and takes up very little time. A ceremonial drill based on field drill is being developed. In the meantime, all units have been told to limit instruction in the present ceremonial drill to what is necessary for the performance of any parades or duties they may be called upon to perform.

Can the Secretary of State give an assurance to the House that fitting steps have been taken to put down the rebellion among the Under-Secretaries?
