HC Deb 14 November 1916 vol 87 c560
20. Sir H. DALZIEL

asked if the daughter of the clerk to the British Consulate at Salonika was sent home by the military authorities at Salonika; and if she has been allowed to return in defiance of the opinion of our intelligence officers in Greece?

Mr. FORSTER

The lady to whom the hon. Member doubtless refers was permitted to return by the General Officer Commanding the British troops at Salonika. I am not aware of the opinion of the intelligence officers in Greece.

21. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is now in a position to state what action the Government intends to take about increasing the amount of separation allowance?

Mr. FORSTER

No decision has yet been reached.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the hon. Gentleman say if they have done anything at all about coming to a decision?

Mr. FORSTER

They have done something; they have been considering it.

Mr. HOGGE

In order to speed it up, I will refer to this on the Adjournment to-night.
