§ COLONEL LEARMONTHasked the Secretary of State for War, If it is true that the payment of the three junior Medical Officers attached to the three Regiments engaged on the recent expedition on the Gold Coast, is only to be at the rate of three shillings a-day extra, while the Medical Officers on the Staff and those in the Navy received respectively, the former double pay, the latter £1 extra?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, it was true that the medical officers attached to the regiments, whether senior or junior, received 3s. a-day extra, like the officers of the regiment itself. The medical officers received double pay while they were serving on shore. With respect to the payment of Medical Officers in the Navy, he had no information.
