HC Deb 16 June 1881 vol 262 cc645-6
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in issuing the new Warrant, care will be taken to protect the revenues of India from any excessive demands, and to reserve to the Government of India full discretion in regard to Indian allowances to junior Majors and other newly promoted officers?

MR. CHILDERS

Yes, Sir; the subject of the proper Indian allowance to the additional majors has not been lost sight of in the preliminary discussions with the India Office, and care will be taken to protect the revenues of India as my hon. Friend's Question suggests.
