§ Lieut.- COLONEL PRYCE- JONESI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War what compensation will be paid to the representatives of a member of the 1st Volunteer Battalion, the South Wales Borderers, recently encamped on Salisbury Plain, who was killed by lightning on 28th July; and whether he will consider the propriety of extending the present regulations applicable in this case, and also in all similar cases where death results in performance of their military duties, and when subject to military law.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe regulations do not admit of the grant of "compensation in such cases oven to Regular troops; but, as I have informed the House, this subject is now under consideration.
