§ SIR FRANCIS EVANS (Southampton)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the War Office, by a letter written early this month, informed the officer commanding the 2nd Kent Volunteer Artillery that the allowances paid for the Easter camp would be deducted at the settlement of the special camp accounts; and whether, in view of the charges which would thereby be thrown upon the corps should they attend the special camp, he could see his way to forego the deduction of the Easter camp charge, amounting to over £400, and so enable this corps, which is up to its full strength, to attend the special camp.
§ * MR. WYNDHAMAs the corps was specially required in connection with a scheme of mobilisation, the Secretary of State for War has sanctioned the issue of allowances for the Easter camp.
