HC Deb 06 August 1918 vol 109 cc1105-6
10. Mr. HUGH LAW

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any steps have been taken with a view to the reduction of officers' expenses after demobilisation, having especial regard to the fact that during the War many men have obtained commissions in regiments in which a high rate of expenditure has hitherto been considered necessary?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Forster)

The importance of this point is recognised, and it will not be lost sight of; but I do not think any definite announcement can be made until we know more definitely what the post-war Army will be.
