HC Deb 10 September 1909 vol 10 cc1717-8W
Captain CRAIG

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he can state if subaltern officers draw Is. per day extra pay after seven years' service as full lieutenant in this country but not while serving in India; and, if so, can he state why a distinction is made?

The MASTER of ELIBANK

The facts are as stated by the hon. Member. The Indian pay regulations are framed on a different system from those in force at home. Subalterns of the British Army, whether they have more or less than seven years' service, get more pay in India than in England.
