HC Deb 01 March 1861 vol 161 c1203
SIR EDWIN GROGAN

said, he wished to ask the President of the India Board, If any and what arrangements have been made, or are intended to be made, for the payment, in this Country and in Ireland, of their shares of the Prize Money to the Officers and Soldiers who were engaged in the late Indian Campaign, and are resident in the United Kingdom?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

said, he could not give a very satisfactory answer to the question of the hon. Member, because the time for the distribution of the prize money here depended, to a great extent, on the payments in India, and also on the circumstances of the persons who were to receive it in this country. Until the Government knew to whom the money was to be paid, and where the persons entitled to it might happen to be it was impossible for them to make any arrangement on the subject.
