§ MR. CHARLES ROBERTS (Lincoln)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, under the existing Yeomanry regulations, an officer or trooper who is prevented by illness or other unavoidable cause from attending preliminary drills, but who subsequently attends the whole of the annual training, is deprived of all pay and allowances.
§ MR. HALDANEThe regulations permit general officers commanding to grant pay and allowances in such cases if they are satisfied that the failure to attend is due to circumstances beyond the control of the officer or yeoman concerned.
