§ 95. Major CARVERasked the Secretary of State for War from what date the proposed Territorial bounty, comprising the £3 proficiency grant, the 10s. weapon training allowance, and 30s. for extra drills, will commence to be paid; and whether the additional travelling allowance will also commence from the same date?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Sir Victor Warrender)The proficiency grant of £3 will be payable in 1936 to all those men attending camp and performing the regulated number of drills. The grant of 10s. for weapon training will also be payable, as usual, in 1936. Owing to the fact that the current training year has ad- 620 vanced so far as to prevent a number of personnel from taking advantage of the concession, the grant of 30s. for extra drills will not come into operation until the training year beginning 1st November next. The travelling allowance for 50 drills for trained men in place of the present total (which varies from 20 to 40 drills according to the arm of the service) will, however, be payable during the current training year.
