HC Deb 18 March 1908 vol 186 c559
LORD J. JOICEY-CECIL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the officers of a Militia battalion assembling at headquarters to hand over their colours to the lord-lieutenant will be entitled to the same pay and allowances for the day as if assembling for the annual training.

MR. HALDANE

Instructions have been issued that as regards colours application should be submitted to the War Office for authority to deposit them in a church or other public building, and that no other method of disposal could be sanctioned.
