MR. H. R. BRANDsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether, seeing that Colonels commanding Regiments in the Regular Army no longer receive an allowance for clothing estimated upon the number of men in their Regiments, there is any reason why the Colonels commanding (King's) Dragoon Guards and 1st Royals respectively should continue in the receipt of a higher rate of pay than the Colonels of other Regiments of the Line?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, in reply, that the reduction suggested by the hon. Member had been determined upon in the month of August last year, and when the colonelcy of the 1st Royals became vacant, the appointment was made at a reduced rate.
