HC Deb 09 July 1917 vol 95 cc1610-1
93. Colonel Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the (Under-Secretary of State for War whether, when Driver Payne, 100th Field Company, Royal Engineers, forfeited twenty-eight days' pay, twenty-eight days' allotment, at Is. a day, was deducted from Mrs. Payne's allowance, though she has six children and she is herself weak and unfit for work; and, if so, will he say whether it is the regular practice to make these deductions in similar circumstances and under the authority of which Army Order are they made?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer my Noble Friend to the answer given on 20th June to the hon. Member for Bolton, which gives the rules governing such a case as Driver Payne's.
