LORD HARRISasked the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether extra pay for troop drills is to be granted to the Yeomanry this year and in future? And he urged the importance, especially under existing circumstances, of affording every proper encouragement to that Force.
THE EARL OF MORLEY,in reply, said, provision had been made in the Estimates for two extra troop drills at the rate of 3s. 6d. per man per drill, and the total estimated sum would be £3,500; but to enable extra pay to be earned, two-thirds of the enrolled strength of the troop must attend the drill. He would like also to mention that up to this time there had been no Yeomanry Regulations; but Regulations had now 421 been prepared, and would be printed in a very short time.
