HC Deb 20 March 1900 vol 80 c1308
*SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the Government have now decided if the three-year men enlisted for the Army are to have the extra 3d. of pay recently granted to men enlisted on longer terms, and now extended to the Militia.

*MR. WYNDHAM

Yes, Sir. Three-years men will have the messing allowance issued to them on the same terms as other soldiers.
