HC Deb 09 September 1914 vol 66 c567
Mr. CHARLES LEACH

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary for War what payment is being and will continue to be made to the wives and widows of men who are now in the Army or who will join it during the War, and what pension will he made to those soldiers who may be incapacitated for work when the War is over?

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

As the answer to this question would be of considerable length, perhaps the hon. Member will allow me to send him a copy of a pamphlet which deals with these matters in detail.

Mr. NEWMAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that uncertainty with regard to rate of pay and separation allowance for wife and children is acting as a deterrent to recruiting, and whether he will have a poster displayed on public buildings and other places setting out concisely the pay and separation allowance in the various branches of Service to which recruits will be entitled?

Mr. BAKER

I will consider whether effect can be given to the hon. Member's suggestion.
