§ MR. JOYCE (Limerick)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of John Killeen, reserve man, No. 4134, late Royal Munster Fusiliers, whose reserve pay was stopped for 1907, owing to his failing to comply with regulations as to his putting in one day's firing in each year; is he aware that this man's excuse is that, through lack of employment at home, he had to go to Glasgow and Liverpool to look for work and so missed his one day's musketry drill, and 662 that he is willing to make up for this by doing one more day's drill as may be ordered; and whether under those circumstances, he will now receive the pay that was stopped from him.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Nothing is known of this case in the War Office. The general officer commanding-in-Chief concerned will be asked to report.
