HC Deb 28 September 1915 vol 74 c730
15. Colonel BURN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether soldiers coming on leave from France are paid their advance money in French notes, upon which they lose nearly 10 per cent. on changing it into English notes at the port of embarkation; and, if so, whether arrangements can be made to pay returning soldiers in English money?

Mr. FORSTER

Official facilities have been provided whereby such men can exchange French for English money at the port of embarkation at the full current rate of exchange.
