§ 55. Mr. MARRIOTTasked whether there is any distinction as regards rates of pay between members of the English and Indian Civil Services, respectively, serving with commissions in the Army; and, if so, what is the ground for the distinction?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWA member of the English Civil Service holding a commission in the British Army receives in addition to his military pay the amount, if any, required to bring up the total to his civil pay. A member of the Indian Civil Service receives from Indian revenue his Indian furlough pay in addition to his military pay from British revenues. The difference of treatment is necessitated by the differences, with which my hon. Friend is no doubt familiar, between the conditions in the two services in regard to pay and in other respects.
