§ 82. Mr. CURRIEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, under the new arrangements for the relief of soldiers from certain financial liabilities, a soldier who, after having been allotted a Grant-in-Aid, secures promotion to commissioned rank for good service in the field, will be required to relinquish the grant; and, if so, how such a man is supposed to be able to choose between declining his promotion on the one hand and sacrificing his wife and family on the other?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERIf a man who has joined the Forces in the ranks since the 4th August, 1914, is granted an allowance under the scheme and subsequently receives a commission he will not necessarily forfeit the allowance. It will, however, be necessary to consider whether the change in the man's circumstances should involve any revision of the allowance.
