HC Deb 28 April 1871 vol 205 c1850
COLONEL C. LINDSAY

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in the event of the Mutiny Act being applied to the Volunteer Force, as announced in the 15th Clause of the Army Regulation Bill, it is the intention of the Government to issue pay and allowances to such portion of the Force as may for the time being be placed under the Act, according to the provisions contained in the second section of that Act?

MR. CARDWELL

Sir, I have already said that an allowance will be made to Volunteers going into camp, as has been the case heretofore with the Artillery Volunteers going into camp at Shoeburyness. It is not proposed that they shall receive pay as soldiers.
