§ COLONEL KENYON-SLANEY (Shropshire, Newport)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is the fact that blood money on the authorised scale, has been granted to British officers wounded on service while employed in the Egyptian Army; and whether it is intended to extend similar treatment to those wounded in recent operations; if not, could he explain the reason; and, if so, when will such payments be commenced?
MR. POWELL WILLIAMSThis matter is the subject of correspondence now passing between the War Office and the Treasury.
