§ CAPTAIN PRICEasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether compensation will be granted to Lieutenant General Wilby, C.B. for removal from the command of the Forces in Ceylon, two years before the completion of the five years for which he had been appointed, he being then only sixty-two years of age?
§ SIR ARTHUR HAYTER (for the Marquess of HARTINGTON)In reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Devon-port, I have to say that a Royal Warrant is under consideration, which will provide compensation for any net loss sustained by removal from a Staff appointment on account of age, as in the case referred to.
