HC Deb 27 June 1878 vol 241 c324
THE EARL OF MARCH

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether there would be any objection to allow adjutants of the auxiliary forces who have the brevet rank of major to receive their pay as such from the date on which they were appointed as adjutants of the auxiliary forces?

COLONEL STANLEY

Having carefully re-considered this question, I am not prepared to extend the concession of April, 1877, so as to make it retrospective.
