§ MR. HERMON-HODGE (Oxon, Henley)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether field allowance has yet been granted to officers and men of the East Yorkshire Regiment serving with the 8th Division; and, if not, can he state on what grounds it has been with, held.
§ MR. BRODRICKThis question arises, I think, from a statement made in this House by the hon. Member for Tonbridge on the authority of a paragraph in The Times. I am glad to have opportunity of contradicting the statement.
† See page 333.473 Men are never granted field allowance, I but I have myself seen the receipts of the various officers for the allowances in question.
