HC Deb 27 February 1899 vol 67 cc610-1
MR. H. ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will state what salary is attached to the position of Governor-General of the Soudan; and whether the officer holding this position will, in addition to this sum, draw his ordinary army pay during the period of his administration of that province?

MR. BRODRICK

As Governor-General of the Soudan, Lord Kitchener draws pay at the rate of £1,000 a year with £500 for travelling allowance. This is in addition to his pay as Sirdar of the Egyptian Army. He draws no pay from British Army funds.
