§ 81. Mr. R. GWYNNEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he would see that Sergeant R. E. Carter, M.M., No. 280625, Royal Garrison Artillery, was refunded his passage money, which he paid to come over from Canada in 1914 in order to join His Majesty's forces; whether he was aware that application had been repeatedly made both by Sergeant Carter and the hon. Member for Eastbourne to have this claim dealt with; and, in view of the fact that Sergeant Carter was due to sail for Canada on Saturday next, would he see that the money, 70 dollars, was paid to him before that date and the documents which he sent up to prove his claim, and which have not been returned, were sent back to him?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Forster)Payment of the amount due on this claim (£12 7s. 1d.) has been made to Sergeant Carter, but the document which he forwarded in support of the claim is necessarily retained as a voucher.
