§ 32. Mr. JOWETTasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if his attention has been called to complaints made by members of the Territorial Force who, their period of enlistment being completed, are, in accordance with the usual practice, entitled to £15 allowance, the ground of their complaint being that they are only paid £5, the remaining £10 being put into the War Loan, and that no scrip or receipt of any kind is given to them; and if he will say whether the procedure complained of is in accordance with Army Regulations?
§ Mr. FORSTERThere would appear to be a good deal of misapprehension regarding this bounty. It is payable one-third on completion of the term, and two-thirds with interest on discharge, but no investment of the money is made and consequently there is no question of scrip.
