HC Deb 26 May 1891 vol 353 c1076
LORD HENRY BRUCE (Wilts, Chippenham)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the terms of Army Order dated 17th November, 1890, and to the fact that many Volunteer Battalions were on the 31st October, 1890, below their maximum establishment, the equipment grant prescribed by the Army Order will be paid for those Volunteers who are in excess of the numbers enrolled on the 31st October, 1890, although such members are below the maximum establishment?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

The grant referred to will be extended to Volunteers within the establishment enrolled up to March 31st, 1891.
