§ MR. CLAUDE HAY (Shoreditch, Hoxton)To ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state whether non-commisioned officers and men of the Imperial Yeomanry who elect to serve in the Territorial Forces to complete their period of engagement, are to receive pay at the rates now existing in the Imperial Yeomanry, or at the rates 624 assigned to their branch of the Territorial forces.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Men of the Imperial Yeomanry enlisting into the Territorial Force for the unexpired portion of their Imperial Yeomanry engagement or re-engagement will be allowed to retain Yeomanry rates and conditions of pay for the period for which they re-enlist. Non-commissioned officers paid as such at the end of the 1907 training may retain Imperial Yeomanry rates and conditions of pay until the end of the 1910 training if they continue to serve as non-commissioned officers for so long.
