Yeomanry (Old Rates of Pay).

HC Deb 12 July 1909 vol 7 cc1820-1W

Mr. PHILIP FOSTER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will, in order to encourage efficiency in the Yeomanry, arrange that promotion shall carry the old rates of pay until all ranks come under the new rates?

Mr. HALDANE

There do not appear to be any sound grounds for extending the conditions under which non-commissioned officers and men who transferred from the Imperial Yeomanry to the Territorial Force retain their old Yeomanry rates of pay.
