HC Deb 26 October 1916 vol 86 c1308
125. Mr. DICKINSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether His Majesty's Government have granted to male employés over eighteen years of age a war bonus in respect of the increase in the cost of living, and to female employés above that age one half the amount of the war bonus allowed to such male employé s; and what is the justification for this differentiation in the treatment of men and women?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I would refer my right hon. Friend to the reply given by me to the Noble Lord the Member for Nottingham, South, on the 17th instant, of which I am sending him a copy.
