§ MR. YOXALL (Nottingham, W.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been directed to the case of Volunteer Officers who do not receive while attending camps of instruction the same pay and allowances as those received by Militia Officers attending such camps; whether this difference has been made 584 during the present year only; and whether it is intended that this difference should be permanent.
LORD STANLEYVolunteer Officers attending camps receive an allowance calculated as being sufficient to cover their expenditure. The payments made for last year's camps were wholly exceptional.
