36. Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if his attention has been called to the case of Private Arthur Holroyd, No. 2,288, 2/4th 1782 Yorkshire Regiment, who, whilst in hospital, had 7d. per day stopped from his pay, also 1½d. per week contribution under the National Insurance Act; and will he state whether these stoppages from a soldier's pay are in accordance with Army Regulations?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am inquiring into this case, and will inform the hon. Member the result as soon as possible.
§ Mr. FORSTERI understand that when a man goes to hospital, the stoppages are deducted as a matter of course, until the medical certificate is received from the commanding officer showing that the stoppages are not to be made.
§ Mr. FORSTERI am not responsible.
