§ 73. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for War whether all officers of units sent to Palestine on duty receive an allowance to cover the provision of the necessary tropical kit; and what is the amount of the grant.
§ Mr. LawsonOfficers receive a grant of £10 for this purpose when ordered to proceed to Palestine on duty, unless they have previously served at a tropical station during the present emergency or have already received an outfit allowance which covers the provision of tropical kit.
§ Sir T. MooreDoes this apply to Regular officers as well as Territorial and 'general officers?
§ Mr. LawsonThe question is rather a general one. I would not be prepared to particularise.
§ Sir T. MooreI must communicate with my right hon. Friend afterwards.
