HC Deb 11 July 1906 vol 160 c867
LORD TURNOUR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what is the reason for witholding the pay of the Imperial Yeomanry officers attending the cavalry school for six weeks after the course has been completed.

MR. BUCHANAN

Payment is not made until the result of the course, in regard to obtaining the necessary certificates, is known. If the hon. Member will give me any instance of undue delay I will have the matter inquired into.

MR. ASHLEY (Lancashire, Blackpool)

May I inform the hon. Gentleman that my hon. friend himself has been kept waiting for six weeks, after he has passed his examination.

MR. BUCHANAN

If the noble Lord will communicate to the Secretary of State the details of his own hard case the Secretary of State will inquire into it.

LORD TURNOUR

I will do so very soon.
