HC Deb 06 May 1915 vol 71 c1283W
Mr. CHARLES DUNCAN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether recruits in the New Army were attested in August and September last on the condition that they allotted one-third of their pay (i.e., 4d. a day) to their wives and families; whether any of these men are being stopped 6d. a day (i.e., one-half of their pay); and, if so, will instructions be given at once that 4d. a day only is to be stopped and the full allotment allowed by the Army Order paid to the wives of the men?

Mr. BAKER

I am having inquiry made into this.
