HC Deb 15 September 1914 vol 66 cc862-3
52. Mr. FALLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that a number of men now at Aldershot enlisted in the Motor Transport Army Service Corps, which service carries pay at 6s. per day and for a period of one year or termination of the War, but that owing to the fact that the proper forms were not available the men enlisted used other forms and were sworn in on those forms which bind them for three years or the termination of the War at 1s. 2d. per day; and if he will see that no advantage is taken of these men and of the absence of proper forms, and that these men be enlisted and sworn under the proper forms?

Mr. TENNANT

The matter is under consideration, and if it is shown that a mistake in the form of enlistment has occurred it will be remedied.
