HC Deb 20 February 1900 vol 79 cc561-2
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether 12s. a day is paid to troopers in Colonel Bayly's corps in Cape Colony; and, if so, whether the expenses of this corps are charged on the colony or on the Imperial Treasury.

MR. WYNDHAM

The corps to which the hon. Member refers cannot be identified; but I am not aware of any corps in which the pay of a trooper is 12s. a day.
