§ 63. Mr. ASHLEYasked the President of the Local Government Board whether, in view of the fact that the pay in 711 cash to second-lieutenants of Infantry of the Line serving at home varies from 7s. 6d. to 10s. a day and the pay of first-lieutenants is 1s. a day more, he can see his way to extend to subalterns of the Line serving at home the same privileges as to grants for meeting rent, rates, taxes, and other liabilities as have been granted to those serving in the ranks?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Hayes Fisher)I regret I am not yet in a position to inform the hon. Member of the decision in this matter, but I expect to be able to do so in a few days.
§ Mr. ASHLEYI will put my question down on this day week.
