HC Deb 09 March 1920 vol 126 c1086
46. Mr. STANTON

asked the Prime Minister whether he is prepared to reconsider the gratuities paid to men who served in His Majesty's Forces during the late War, and is he aware of the dissatisfaction of demobilised sailors and soldiers with their treatment?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Baldwin)

The scale of gratuities was settled by His Majesty's Government after careful consideration, and my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer regrets that he is not prepared to reconsider it.

Mr. STANTON

Would the right hon. Gentleman explain why my question has been mangled and why the most important part of it does not appear?
