HC Deb 04 June 1896 vol 41 c424
MR. HUBERT DUNCOMBE (Cumberland, Egremont)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether the allowance of £20, referred to in the Special Army Order of the 15th May 1896, will be granted to officers joining the Volunteer force as captains without having previously held any commission?

* MR. BRODRICK

It is proposed to extend the allowance for subalterns joining the Volunteer Force to officers who first join as captains.
