HC Deb 22 July 1918 vol 108 c1452
49. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Prime Minister if he is in a position to state the increases in separation allowances for wives, dependants, and the dependants of apprentices?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I expect that this announcement will be made on Thursday next.

75. Mr. HARRIS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will say why, according to Army Form W3268, separation allowance to the wife or other dependant of a soldier reported missing ceases after thirty weekly payments have been made from the date the payee is notified of the fact; and whether a pension or gratuity then is automatically paid or has a claim to pension to be approved before payment is made?

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

I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the Regulations in question, and a note showing the procedure in issuing pension or gratuity.
