§ 14. Mr. DUNCAN GRAHAMasked the Secretary of State for War the reason why the War Office confiscates the property of dead soldiers by refusing to hand over their pay-books to their next of kin; whether there is any discrimination in this respect between commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers and men; and, if so, why there should be such discrimination?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONCommissioned officers do not use pay books. As regards soldiers' pay books, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply to his question of the 18th March, 1919.
