HC Deb 14 March 1907 vol 171 cc203-4
MR. W. F. D. SMITH (Strand, West Minister):

To ask the Secretary of State for War, whether Government employees who are members of the Auxiliary Forces are given any special facilities for attending camp.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The hon. Member is apparently alluding to the extra week's leave granted for the extended training. As the latter is suspended, the necessity for the extra week has lapsed for the present.

MR. W. F. D. SMITH

To ask the Secretary of State for War, whether Government employees, if called up for six months training on mobilisation under the new Army scheme, will have their appointments kept open for them and will be paid their salaries or wages during the time that their corps are under training or on active service.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Will the hon. Member kindly refer to my reply to a Question on a similar subject put yesterday by the hon. and gallant Member for the Newport Division of Shropshire, which will give him all the information at present at my disposal.†
