HC Deb 05 August 1924 vol 176 c2726
17. Mr. BLUNDELL

asked the Secretary of State for War what was the date on which separation allowance for Territorial soldiers was put on the same basis as that for Regular soldiers?

Mr. WALSH

This was done in June, 1920, by Army Order 260 of that year.

Mr. BLUNDELL

Was not the right hon. Gentleman's Parliamentary Secretary wrong when he said no such Order was issued in 1920?

Mr. WALSH

I am not at all sure that he said that. I wish the hon. Member had directed my attention to that error, if it was committed, but Members on all sides make occasional mistakes.
