§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can now state whether he can recommend the payment of removal expenses to members of the staff of surveyors for engineer services, or to make an allowance in respect of such expenses, as is done in the case of the Army Accounts Branch and to public servants in the Admiralty, Office of Works, and Inland Revenue Departments.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The question of removal expenses has not been finally settled. I may point out that, owing to recent changes, the circumstances of the War Department surveyors are not altogether comparable to those of surveyors in other offices.
