§ MR. STACPOOLEsaid, he would beg-to ask the Secretary of State for War, Is it a fact that the Officers of the Madras Native Infantry stationed at Singapore receive Indian pay and allowances, together with Colonial allowance, whilst the 75th Regiment of Foot, quartered at the same station, receive only English pay, together with Colonial allowance, the difference of receipts between the Services in the rank of Lieutenant amounting to £180 per annum; if so, why?
§ MR. CARDWELLSir, there is a difference not, as I am informed, of £180, but of £67. The reason is, that each officer receives the pay and allowances of the service to which he belongs.
