80. Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he is aware that a large number of young men were induced to re-enlist in the Army in 1919 on the understanding that the allowance to their parents would continue to be paid; if he is aware that in a number of instances the allowance has been discontinued; if he will state the reason why it has been discontinued; and whether any other payment is being made in its place?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI would refer the hon. Member to the written answer which I gave last Monday to the right hon. Member for Woolwich East. In all cases where men enlisted on condition that certain allowances were continued, the provision is made, as will be seen by a reference to the Army Order, for the recognition of such rights.
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI shall have great pleasure in doing so.
