MR. BOSCAWENI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, having regard to the fact that the officers of embodied Militia are placed on exactly the same footing as Line battalions, so far as duties and pay are concerned during embodiment, and that in consequence the senior major of a Militia battalion, though not formally appointed second in command, has the same duties to perform as the second in command of a Line battalion, whether he ought not to receive the additional pay, over and above a major's pay, which is given to the seconds in command of Line battalions.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe question is under consideration.
