HC Deb 17 March 1876 vol 228 c171
MR. HANBURY-TRACY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If the wages to the Seamen and Marines of the Flying Squadron in attendance on the Prince of Wales have been paid in English or Indian currency; and, if paid in Indian currency, whether it is his intention to compensate them for the loss thereby incurred?

MR. HUNT

I understand that the wages of the seamen and marines of the Detached Squadron in attendance on the Prince of Wales have been paid partly in British and partly in Indian currency. The rate at which the rupee should be issued in such cases is under consideration.
