HC Deb 19 July 1915 vol 73 c1181
92. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will cause inquiry to be made into the fact that the non-commissioned officers and men of "B" Company, 3rd East Lancashire Regiment, stationed at Plymouth, are in many cases said to be in debt to the paymaster; that many of the men have booked their pay and deny that there has been any over-payment; and that similar complaints are common in other regiments; and, with a view of ascertaining whether the suspicion is well founded that systematic fraud is going on by which soldiers are deprived of their legal pay, whether he will cause a thorough inquiry to be made into this matter?

Mr. FORSTER

I am making inquiries into this case.
