HC Deb 06 March 1883 vol 276 c1606
SIR HENRY FLETCHER

asked the Secretary of State for War, If it is a fact that the men of the Anglo-Indian regiments, sent from India to Egypt last year, retained their Indian pay and allowances till October 10th 1882, whereas the officers were put on English pay, &c, on landing in Egypt?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Sir, it appears from the pay lists of British regiments sent from India to Egypt that both officers and men were put upon British rates from the day of landing in Egypt.
