HC Deb 12 March 1919 vol 113 c1271
37. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has reviewed his decision to continue to deduct service from war service gratuities?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The decision referred to is that of the War Cabinet, and I do not propose to attempt to reopen it.

Mr. HOGGE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he said in the Debate on the Army Estimates that he was prepared to reopen it?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I do not think so.

Mr. HOGGE

Yes.

Mr. CHURCHILL

At any rate, I am not prepared to now.
