§ MR. DUNCAN (Yorkshire, W.R., Otley)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that some of the wives and families of men who two months ago joined the Yeomanry, and who are now with C Company of the 9th Section of the Field Force in South Africa, are destitute, none of them having received any of the pay assigned to them, and if he can say when some payment will be made.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Lord STANLEY, Lancashire, Westhoughton)It is presumed that the hon. Member is referring to the men enlisted in the Otley district for the 57th Bucks Company of Imperial Yeomanry. In some cases payment has already been made, and in the others instructions have been given to the Station Paymaster, Oxford, to pay the allowances due to their families.
