§ VISCOUNT EMLYNasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the adjutants of five Militia regiments have been refused the increase of pay granted to all other adjutants of Militia under the Royal Warrant of the 20th clay of November 1875, upon the ground that they are in receipt of half pay from the Marine Artillery; and, whether such half pay is not retired pay, and practically pension for past services; and if under the circumstances, he will take steps to place these officers in the same position as other adjutants of Militia, or allow them to retire upon similar terms to those offered under Royal Warrant of the 25th day of March 1875?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, it was not his intention to make any change in regard to the increase of pay to Adjutants of Militia.
