§ GENERAL LAURIEI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the importance of encouraging the re-enlistment of time-expired Militiamen, he would reconsider the arrangement under which the bounty of £5 now offered is paid on the assembling of the battalion, and would give authority for it to be paid at the time when the enlistment takes place.
§ MR. WYNDHAMExperience has proved the advantage of delaying the payment until the man appears at the training; the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion cannot, therefore, be adopted.
