HC Deb 15 June 1899 vol 72 cc1175-6
MR. PRETYMAN (Suffolk, Woodbridge)

I beg to ask the Under-Secre- tary of State for War whether, now that it has been definitely laid down that the Mountain Artillery forms part of the Royal Garrison Artillery it is intended that officers serving in mountain batteries should draw armament pay in the same way as other officers of the Garrison Artillery.

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)

The officers of the Mountain Artillery will have no armament under their charge, and it is not therefore proposed to give them any armament pay.
