§ DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, considering the inconvenience and expense incurred by Militia officers now actually embodied and serving, he will grant them, on completion of a year's service, the gratuity of £100 now paid to officers whose regiment has been disembodied.
*LORD STANLEYThis question has been thoroughly considered. I am not prepared to alter the decision already arrived at.
