HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 c1905
65. Mr. GRATTAN DOYLE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that men who, after a week's training, fell sick and were detained in hospital for six months and were then discharged without doing any duty are eligible for the War gratuity, he will consider the cases of men with three, four, and five months' duty service?

Captain GUEST

No, Sir. All these points were fully considered by the War Cabinet before the scale of gratuities was approved, and it is not desirable to reopen the question.
