§ Mr. POLLOCKasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether men who have joined a local fortress company and are billeted at their homes are entitled to receive separation allowance; and, if not, why this is so, seeing that if they are billeted a mile or two from their homes the separation allowance is paid?
Mr. BAKERMen who have not in fact been separated from their families are not entitled to separation allowance. A revised scale of allowances for men living at their own homes is in course of preparation.
