HC Deb 23 March 1877 vol 233 cc380-1
LORD ELCHO

asked the Secretary of State for War, Why the money voted last year, under Vote 7, for the purpose of assimilating the position of Adjutants of Volunteers on full pay to that of Captains of the Line has not been paid to them, and when they may count upon its being paid?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY,

in reply, said, the delay had been caused by the settlement of some details in awarding the money as regarded the Adjutants of Engineers; but when they were settled, it would be paid as from the 1st of July last year.
