HC Deb 04 July 1856 vol 143 cc336-7
SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBY

said, he wished to know what was the specific rule for distributing rewards to the Militia regiments which had been disembodied? Applications had been made to him, stating that officers and men had not received the usual gratuities.

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

said, if the officers and men of any regiment had not received the gratuities they were entitled to, it must be owing to some mistake, and the proper course would be to make application to the Department of War. He was not aware that any distinction had been established that would shut out any one regiment from the largess which it had been agreed to give to the Militia.

Motion agreed to.

House, at its rising, to adjourn till Monday.
