§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if the Secretary of State for War sees his way to grant the initial equipment allowances to medical officers of the Volunteer Force, having regard to their increased duties under new regulations; and if its extension to quarter-masters will be considered?
§ MR. BRODRICKI am glad to say that an Army Order is about to be issued giving the allowance to medical officers of the Volunteers on the Establishment. The question of extending it to quarter-masters has been considered, but no decision has been arrived at.
