§ CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it has been brought to his notice that hardship has arisen in connection with the allotment of pay to the families in this country of those soldiers who have enlisted in South Africa for the various local irregular corps; and whether he will see that instructions are issued to the Pay Department in South Africa to transfer a soldier's credit, whether he be serving in a regular or an irregular corps, in order that his family may not be left destitute.
LORD STANLEYArrangements have been made, so far as is practicable, for regular remittances for these men. If the hon. Member can give me any special cases of hardship, I will have them investigated.
