HC Deb 16 November 1916 vol 87 c1012W
Mr. M. BARLOW

asked the Secretary of State for War, with regard to the 325th Royal Defence Corps, stationed at The Armoury, Holyhead, whether, owing to-some mistake in the Paymaster's Department or otherwise, considerable sums have been overpaid to the men, or many of them, and have now to be refunded; whether such sums to be refunded range from a few shillings to as much as £16; and whether, seeing that the refunding of sums of this kind presses very hardly on the men in question, the clerks or departments responsible for the serious error will be made themselves to refund the money?

Mr. FORSTER

Inquiry is being made, and I will let my hon. Friend know the result.
