§ MR. MANSFIELD (Lincolnshire. Spalding)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the order issued by the War Office which makes it compulsory for every individual volunteer to attend camp for a week at least every two years, and to the loss this will entail on the poorer section of the Volunteer force, he will consider the advisability of granting an increase of pay to these men.
LORD STANLEYThe hon. Member is evidently unaware that public grants to Volunteer corps take the form of capitation grants to the corps and not of pay to the individual man. In order to cover the extra cost of the longer attendance in camp the capitation grants were this year increased.
