HC Deb 25 April 1887 vol 313 c1796
CAPTAIN PRICE (Devonport)

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Why the Colour Sergeants of the Royal Marines are not on the same footing as regards pensions as Colour Sergeants of the Line?

THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)

Steps are in progress to assimilate the position of the two Services in this respect. An Order in Council has been prepared, and is now before the Treasury.
