HC Deb 30 April 1913 vol 52 c1177
49. Major WHITE

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman is aware that National Reservists and other old soldiers of the Brigade of Guards attending the review by His Majesty the King on 28th April, who are employed at the Royal Army Clothing Factory, Pimlico, at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and other Government offices, had their day's wage deducted; and whether, in view of the fact that the State should be a model employer, he will use his influence to secure that these old soldiers are not penalised for their loyalty?

The PRIME MINISTER

Any proposals which reach the Treasury in this sense will receive sympathetic consideration.
