§ 10. Mr. Lawsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is taking any steps to make it known to soldiers that the conditions of allowances for their dependants have been modified and that men making an allotment may have their claim of a dependant investigated again?
§ Mr. LawYes, Sir. An Army Council Instruction has been issued on this subject, and copies will be made available for detailed reference by the troops.
§ Mr. LawsonIs not this a very important change in the financial allowances to soldiers, and could not other steps be taken to make the matter known more fully so that parents can know that this great change has taken place?
§ Mr. LawI should think that it will get publicity through Question and Answer in this House, but commanding officers have been instructed to explain to the soldier what has taken place.
