§ MR. WAITasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he had under his consideration the present retiring allowances granted to Militia Quartermasters; and whether he can hold out any expectation that an improved scale will be adopted?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, he was sorry to say he could not hold out any hope that an improved scale would be adopted. The reasons he had to give for that decision were too long to state in answer to a Question; but he should be happy to submit them to the hon. Gentleman.
