HC Deb 31 July 1918 vol 109 c404
13. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if a time-expired Royal Engineer of thirteen years' service, now in France and eligible for £20 bounty and wanted by his chief in the dockyard, can forego the bounty and return to the dockyard?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Without knowing the age and medical category of the man concerned, I regret I cannot say whether he could be released to return to the dockyards, but, speaking generally, the answer to my hon. and gallant Friend's question is in the negative.
