SIR THOMAS ESMONDSI beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for War, if he will consider the case of Sergeants of the permanent staff of the Militia serving on Militia engagements (under par. 609 of Militia Regulations), with a view to placing them on the same footing as regards pay and pension as non-commissioned officers of the permanent staff who are serving on Army engagements?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordThis question has been fully considered, and the Secretary of State is unable to add anything to the reply given by the late Secretary of State to a similar question put to him on the 8th May, last year, by the hon. Member for South Leitrim.
