§ 2. Brigadier-General Clifton Brownasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Army Order 160, of 1939, outfit allowance, is not being adhered to by the military authorities; whether that order still holds good; and, if so, whether he will see that those allowances for kit shall be made good to those officers whose claims have been turned down though they were eligible for that outfit grant on rejoining from the Army Reserve?
§ Captain MargessonI am not aware of any case in which the provisions of Army Order 160 of 1939, which governs the issue of outfit allowance to officers rejoining from the Reserve, are not being observed. If my hon. and gallant Friend has any particular case in mind and will let me have details, I shall be glad to look into it.
Brigadier-General BrownIf 1 bring a case to the attention of my right hon. and gallant Friend, will he look into it without any prejudice against the officer concerned?
