CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can promise that if any increase of pay and pension is to be granted to warrant officers, Militia sergeant-majors will receive favourable consideration, in view of the fact that during annual training their duties are proportionately more onerous than those of line regiments.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) HaddingtonshireThe question of the emoluments of Militia sergeant - majors has been frequently raised and it has been decided to make no alteration. It may be pointed out that their work, taking all the year round, is less onerous than that of a sergeant-major of the line.
