§ MR. WALDEGRAVE LESLIEsaid, he would beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether the "Indian 82 Allowances," hitherto made to Her Majesty's troops serving in China are about to be withdrawn?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONsaid, in reply, that after the withdrawal of the Indian troops serving in China the Indian allowances, given to the British troops with the view of placing them on the same footing as the Indian troops serving in that country, would be withdrawn, and a new scale of allowances would be fixed suitable to the circumstances of the case.
