HC Deb 28 May 1900 vol 83 cc1493-4
LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that certain battalions of the Manchester Volunteer Regiment to be encamped on Salisbury Plain only receive a travelling allowance of 8s. per head, whereas the journey costs 13s.; and whether, in view of the- fact that this entails an additional cost of £250 to each battalion of 1,000 men, he can make a special grant towards the travelling expenses.

* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

All expenses incurred by Volunteers travelling over 100 miles to their camps will be specially dealt with under paragraph 586 of the Volunteer Regulations.

LORD BALCARRES

Will the money be paid?

* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Special allowances will be made where special expenses are incurred.
