§ 74. Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if the ration allowance issued to a married soldier sent on furlough pending discharge is only 1s. 4d. per day for seven days, which is insufficient to provide him with a proper amount of food at the present prices; and, if so, whether he will take any action in the matter?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe question of increasing this rate, which is issuable only in the case of men whose wives are in receipt of separation allowance, is under consideration.
