COLONEL PRYCE-JOXES (Montgomery Boroughs)I. beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether an officer of the Reserve of Officers who joined a Volunteer corps after retiring from the Regular forces is by the regulations thereby deprived of the outfit allowance granted to all other Reserve officers on rejoining the Regular Army for duty at the present time, although he has provided the Volunteer uniform he wears at his own expense; and, if this is the case, whether the regulations will be amended or instructions given that the outfit allowance is to be paid in such cases, so as to place such officers from Volunteer corps on an equal footing with all other Reserve officers.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe question is under consideration.
