§ MR. A. GUEST (for Mr. B. COCHRANE), asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in consequence of the change about to be made in the position of Adjutants of Militia in the scheme for the reorganization of the Army and Reserve Forces, the present holders of these appointments will be allowed the option of retiring on an adequate pension, the present retiring allowances having been framed upon the supposition that these appointments would be held until the holders were incapacitated by age or infirmity from further service?
§ MR. CARDWELLAs I stated, Sir, upon a former occasion, it is not intended in any way to disturb the present position of adjutants of Militia as long as the present holders of the appointments continue to discharge their duties.
