HC Deb 05 March 1919 vol 113 c385
24. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for War when the proscribed Army form will be issued upon which applications for the war gratuity can be submitted by the officers concerned?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The reference is presumably to Army Form W. 5081, on which the war gratuity for Regular officers is claimed. These forms have already been issued to the Army agents and paymasters concerned. I may remind my hon. and gallant Friend that, except in the case of officers who have died or left the Army, this gratuity to regular officers is not issuable until the termination of the War or the 3rd of August next, whichever occurs first.

Colonel YATE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when these forms were issued to the Army agents?

Mr. CHURCHILL

No, not without notice.
