HC Deb 02 March 1903 vol 118 c1106
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, in view of the fact that the House was informed last Autumn that the question as to the distribution of the charge in respect of the increased pay of the British soldier in India had been referred to the arbitration of the Lord Chief Justice, will he state whether his Lordship has yet given his award

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

The case has not yet been presented to the Lord Chief Justice. The charges to which the arbitration refers do not come into course of payment before April, 1904.
