HC Deb 11 July 1918 vol 108 c509
87. Mr. PERKINS

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether a private soldier, unfit for active service and transferred to a Labour Battalion, if living at home and engaged as a farm labourer, receives 25s. a week from his employer but loses his Army pay and separation allowance; and, if so, whether he can see his way to arrange for the release of such men from the Army in order that they may earn the wages current in their employment?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply on the 3rd July to the hon. Member for South Leicestershire.
