§ 26. Mr. S. ROBERTSasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a recommendation for increased pay for the police at the Royal Army Ordnance Corps Depot, Hereford, was forwarded to the Western Command on the 28th November, 1924; that this document was returned from the Western Command on the 13th February, 1925, with observations on a few minor points; and what was the reason for such delay?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)The delay was due to the document in question having, I regret to say, been overlooked in the Western Command Office. The application has recently reached the War Office and I will see that a decision is taken upon it as early as possible.
