§ MR. CORNWALLIS (Maidstone)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War will he explain why a captain of the Regular Cavalry, who receives 13s. per day Army pay, on being appointed adjutant of a Yeomanry Brigade receives 10s. per day only, while adjutants of Volunteers receive the full pay to which their rank entitles them; and whether the Secretary of State for War can see his way to equalise the salaries of these officers?
MR. POWELL WILLIAMSThe duties of Yeomanry adjutants differ from those of adjutants of Volunteers, and the Secretary of State does not think it would be desirable to equalise the rates of pay.
