§ 41. Sir Robert Youngasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that some recently called-up s,oldiers have had to pay rail or other carriage on the return of their civilian clothing to their. homes; and whether, as the Army authorities indicate what civilian equipment they must take with them, he will issue instructions that the men must be told that the expense is borne by the State?
§ Mr. EdenInstructions that the return of a parcel of civilian clothing would be at public expense were issued last December. I should like to look into any cases 595 where this instruction has not been observed, if my hon. Friend will be good enough to let me have the particulars.
§ Sir R. YoungIs there any definite amount the soldier must not exceed in connection with this matter?
