HC Deb 29 April 1907 vol 173 c502
LORD J. JOICEY-CECIL (Lincolnshire, Stamford)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether a man enlisting in the Militia, before the Territorial and Reserve Forces Bill passes into Law, will be entitled to receive the same pay, allowances, bounty, and articles of clothing as at present for the whole time, six years, of his enlistment; or, if not, for what portion thereof.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) A man enlisting in the Militia before the Bill becomes Law will come under Clause 28, and if he does not consent to serve under the new conditions he will, if called up for training as a Militiaman, receive the pay and allowances for which he contracted.
