§ 23. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary for War whether he will consider the question of giving officer cadets who after passing the test for commissioned rank at the training schools have been granted temporary commissions and then demobilised without pay, pension, or gratuity, the same terms as regards outfit allowance as have been given to the Royal Air Force cadets similarly demobilized?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe cadets of both Services are warned that they should restrict the provisions of officers' uniform to a minimum scale, and they receive allowances accordingly. There is no material difference of treatment.
§ Colonel YATEIf there is a material difference, will the right hon. Gentleman correct it?
§ Mr. FORSTERIt depends whether I find that our practice was in fault. I can assure my hon. Friend that there is no material difference.
