§ 73. Mr. MORTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he can make arrangements for sergeant-instructors detached from their parent battalions to receive a proper allowance for clothes, as at present, being detached, they get no allowance and are suffering much in consequence; and whether these sergeant-instructors are debarred from promotion, extra pay, or any encouragement for their services to the country?
Mr. BAKERI am not able to identify the case to which the hon. Member refers. Since mobilisation clothing is issued to all soldiers in kind as required and there is no cash allowance.
