HC Deb 02 July 1877 vol 235 c596
CAPTAIN O'BEIRNE

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he would explain why Brevet Majors of Cavalry do not get the 2s. a-day extra pay given to Brevet Majors of Infantry?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY,

in reply, said, the Cavalry officers received 14s. 7d. a-day, while the Infantry officers received only 11s. 1d. That would account for the difference in the extra pay.
