HC Deb 31 July 1919 vol 118 c2251
106. Major NEWMAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, under Articles 496 and 497 of the Royal Pay Warrant, acting paymasters are entitled to the gratuity therein laid down; whether he is aware that in the Courts on 19th June last, Rex v. Holdsworth, it was decided that acting paymasters were entitled to the same Income Tax relief as a commissioned officer; and whether the Treasury will reconsider the debarring the payment of gratuity to acting paymasters?

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

This question is under consideration.
