HC Deb 20 April 1871 vol 205 c1384
LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether Colonels on full pay in command of regiments, if promoted to Staff employment, will be reimbursed such sums as they would have received from their regiments under the old system in accepting such an appointment?

MR. CARDWELL

, in reply, said, it was intended to give full indemnity for payments hitherto customary if the officers could satisfy the Commissioners that, were it not for the Army Regulation Bill, they would be entitled to receive such payments.
