MR. HERBERT (Buckinghamshire, Wycombe)To ask the Secretary of State for War on what date the pay and allowances due to members of the Territorial Force for attendance in camp this year were paid over by the War Office; whether he is aware that no payment in respect of such attendance in camp has yet been paid to the Territorials entitled to it; and, will he make some regulation requiring prompt payment in such cases.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The regulations provide for the issue of cash to the adjutant of each Territorial unit before proceeding to camp. He issues to officers commanding companies the sums required by them for the pay and allowances of the non-commissioned officers and men during the training. All the men, therefore, should have been paid at camp. Perhaps the hon. Member will give me some specific instance.
