§ 16. Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether Civil, servants who have joined the New Army, and who are promoted to be commissioned officers, are deprived of the benefit of receiving their civil pay, less their Army pay, although that benefit is given to all non-commissioned officers and to commissioned officers in the Territorial Army; and, if so, what are the grounds for confining this benefit to Territorial officers?
§ Mr. ACLANDThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, and the second part therefore does not arise.
