§ 8. Mr. STANTONasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that discontent prevails among the demobilised sailors and soldiers with the disproportionate allotment of war gratuities to the rank and file who have served during the War, and that they demand that the Government shall take immediate action to increase the war gratuity paid to men on the same basis as that paid to officers under Article 497, Royal Warrant, such increase to be calculated upon present rates of pay; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for Aberavon on the 6th November.
