§ 26. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Regular Army reservists called up in September last have not yet received that portion of the quarterly pay due to them at the end of August; whether he is aware that this has added to domestic financial difficulties; and when that outstanding pre-war reservist pay is likely to be paid?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI am informed that balances of reserve pay and bounty were credited to the pay accounts of all reservists as soon as their joining on mobilisation was notified.
§ Mr. SorensenIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that there are some cases where that has not been done, and will he consider any cases that I may send to him?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaYes, Sir. Obviously, I was not aware of that or I should not 429 have given the answer. If the hon. Member has any particulars of reservists and he will let me have them, I will see that they receive what is due to them.
