Colonel ALAN SYKESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, under the Regulations for the Volunteer Force, Regulation 11, Non-effective Grants, is meant to debar all Volunteers who earn over £2 a week from receiving compensation; or does it mean that every man is entitled to compensation whatever his earnings, but, should his earnings be above £2 a week, he will only be paid on the scale as though he were earning £2 a week?
§ Mr. FORSTERThis Regulation applies to unpaid temporary service. The compensation will be based on the local rate of average earnings for similar work (with a maximum of £2 a week) and not on the personal earnings of the Volunteer in private life, which will not affect the amount of compensation payable.
