HC Deb 15 March 1915 vol 70 c1750
72. Mr. BUTCHER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, when a soldier serving with the Colours in this country is granted six days' leave, he is entitled to have the amount of his pay and ration money for the period of his leave advanced to him; and, if he is not so entitled, whether the practice of advancing these moneys is to be followed?

Mr. BAKER

Yes, Sir. The soldier is so entitled.
