§ Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in view of the fact that many officers in charge of military hospitals do not avail themselves of the discretion allowed to them to make a weekly allowance of 3s. 6d. to the inmates of their hospitals, he will send a circular to all principal medical officers of military hospitals drawing their attention to the power possessed by them of giving such allowance?
§ Mr. FORSTERInstructions have been issued from time to time on this subject, and a further circular is not considered necessary; but if my Noble Friend will inform me of any cases in which cash issues appear to be unreasonably withheld, I will have them investigated.
