MR. W. F. D. SMITH (Strand, Westminster)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Government will provide an extra capitation grant to non-commissioned officers of the Yeomanry Cavalry who, under the new Regulations, may qualify as drill instructors at the School for Auxiliary Cavalry at Aldershot; and whether any allowance will be made for the travelling expenses of such instructors when attending squad or troop drills in their own regimental districts?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN,) Stirling, &c.The Contingent and Clothing Fund of the Yeomanry will be increased from April by £1 per man, in order to cover, among other things, any expenses which may arise in connection with these Assistant Instructors.
