HC Deb 19 November 1914 vol 68 c545
30. Mr. JONATHAN SAMUEL

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware of the inconvenience, hardship, and poverty caused by the delay in the payment of separation allowances and allotments; and, in order to avoid these results, if he is prepared to establish a correspondence bureau in towns and districts under the control of the old age pensions committee and the officer, so that the wives and dependants may at once communicate with the Department affected?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Harold Baker)

My hon. Friend's proposal is under consideration, and I hope that some satisfactory arrangement will be made.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Will the hon. Gentleman cause to be put up in every Post Office the names of persons to whom application is to be made in this and kindred matters?
