HC Deb 22 July 1867 vol 188 cc1873-4
CAPTAIN VIVIAN

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Why the additional penny a day granted to Soldiers who re-enlist after twelve years' service under the Limited Act is withheld from those Soldiers who entered the service before the Limited Enlistment Act, and who have served for a longer period than twelve years?

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON

replied, that the Question was put under a misapprehension. The penny a day was not to be withheld from the soldiers to whom the hon. Gentleman referred. It was, on the contrary, intended to give it to them.
