§ 30. Sir B. FALLEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he is aware that a convalescent soldier from a hospital if sent out for harvest work receives 2d. per hour out of the 6d. the farmer pays for his services; and whether, in order to secure a fair remuneration for the man and induce men to volunteer for the work, he will arrange that a less-sweated rate of pay is offered the convalescent soldier?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe 2d. is drawn in addition to full pay and allowance, and has been fixed after careful consideration 413 of the rates of wages drawn by other soldiers and by civilians engaged on the harvest.
