HC Deb 10 June 1907 vol 175 c1070
VISCOUNT VALENTIA (Oxford)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what will be the aggregate sum required for the increase of pay to lieutenant colonels; and whether this sum will be met by a Vote in the Estimates for 1907–8, or by means of a Supplementary Estimate.

MR. HALDANE

Approximately the sum of £15,000 a year will be required for this purpose. Provision for this charge has boon made in the Estimates for 1907–8, Vote 1. † See (4) Debates, clxxiv., 1307.
