HC Deb 28 November 1917 vol 99 c2000
44. Mr. WATT

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that soldiers in Mesopotamia have, in many instances, had to telegraph home for money in order to keep them going in the ordinary wants of a soldier; can he say whether this is due to his Department not paying the men regularly; and has he now seen this matter remedied?

Mr. FORSTER

No such complaints have reached me, but the payment of soldiers in Mesopotamia is a question for the India Office.
