§ Sir H. GREENWOODasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can relax the rule which denies the war bounty, granted under Army Order 209, of 1916, to men who were not actually serving on 4th August, 1914; and whether he is aware that this inflicts a hardship on thousands of time-expired non-commissioned officers who volunteered to re-enlist in response to Lord Kitchener's call for instructors immediately subsequent to the date mentioned?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe question was fully considered at the time, and it is regretted that it cannot be reopened now.
