HC Deb 22 May 1900 vol 83 cc929-30
CAPTAIN NORTON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he can now state what decision has been arrived at with reference to the granting of outfit allowances to officers from half pay who are serving with Reserve regiments.

* MR. WYNDHAM

Officers recalled to duty from the half-pay list are not under the regulations entitled to outfit allowance; but, in view of the temporary nature of the employment given to the officers referred to, the question of relaxing the rule in their favour will be considered.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

Will this also apply to medical officers?

* MR. WYNDHAM

I must ask for notice.
