§ Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the Secretary of State for War what are the grounds upon which the Colonial allowance to officers serving in Egypt has been reduced from 3s. to 1s. a day; and whether he will consider the desirability of exercising economy in other directions than that of depriving officers who are undergoing severe hardships of the small allowance hitherto assigned to them?
