HC Deb 13 June 1878 vol 240 c1390
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the ordinary pay of the Indian troops employed in the Perak Expedition at the instance of the Governor of the Straits Settlements, for the period when they were beyond the Indian Dominions of Her Majesty, is charged to the Indian Exchequer or is to be otherwise provided for?

MR. E. STANHOPE

Sir, the ordinary pay of the Indian troops in that Expedition is charged to the Indian Exchequer.

SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

gave Notice that he would, at the earliest opportunity, call the attention of the House to the injustice thereby done to the Indian taxpayer.
