§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Under-Secretary for War whether he is aware that James Barry, of Mullingar, dependant of Private Barry, though now receiving a weekly instalment; from his son's pay, has not yet received the arrears of the money allotted to him by his son from when he joined last September till the end of April; and, those arrears being urgently needed, will he say when they will be paid?
§ Mr. FORSTERThere appears to have been an oversight in notifying the allotment to the paymaster. Payment of arrears has now been made from 11th January (when the allotment began), but there is no evidence of any allotment from September to January.
