HC Deb 19 July 1909 vol 8 cc3-4
Captain MORRISON-BELL

asked why mounted officers in the Special Reserve were granted no allowance for the hire of a horse for their training, whilst mounted officers in the Territorial Forces were?

Mr. HALDANE

If the hon. and gallant Member will kindly refer to paragraph 364 of the Special Reserve Regulations he will find that horse hire is granted as in the Territorial Force.

Captain MORRISON-BELL

asked the Secretary of State for War why a colonel commanding a Special Reserve battalion was only allowed 3s. 6d. a day and travelling allowance and no pay for the four days that he had to perform the duty of inspecting the recruits at his headquarters?

Mr. HALDANE

The lion, and gallant Member's question is not understood. Pay is allowed for the four days in question.

Captain MORRISON-BELL

How much pay is allowed?

Mr. HALDANE

Pay is allowed in accordance with the regulations in the usual way.

Captain MORRISON-BELL

Where is it stated in the regulations that pay is allowed?

Mr. HALDANE

If the hon. Gentleman will communicate with me, or put down a question, I will give him the reference.
