HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 c1889
11. Lieutenant-Colonel WEIGALL

asked the Secretary for War whether the Central Regimental Institutes Fund, in the opinion of the Government, belongs to the Army or the public?

Captain GUEST

Broadly speaking, the Central Regimental Institutes Fund is derived from money which was the property of the soldier, not of the public; but as my hon. and gallant Friend knows, the point in connection with the men's messing money is still under discussion between the War Office and the Treasury.
