HC Deb 27 July 1915 vol 73 c2124
9. Mr. NEEDHAM

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can now make a statement in reference to the request for proficiency pay by ex-Volunteers who attained proficiency while members of the Volunteer Force and who are now serving in His Majesty's Forces?

Mr. FORSTER

After very full consideration it has been found necessary to adhere to the decision that service in the Volunteer Force does not count for proficiency pay.
