§ SIR JOHN DORINGTON (Gloucestershire, Tewkesbury)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether men of the embodied Militia proceeding on furlough have their pay stopped, whilst men of the Regular forces proceeding on furlough continue to draw their pay; and, if so, whether there is any reason for this difference of treatment.
§ * MR. WYNDHAMThe rule has been as stated by the hon. Member, because the case contemplated was that of a Militiaman sent on furlough as soon as he joined, and therefore not disturbed in his civil occupation. But furlough with pay is now granted to Militiamen belonging to corps which have been some time embodied.
