§ Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will state the amount of pay and ration allowance given at the discharge centre to a soldier who is discharged, under King's Regulation 292 xxv. or xxva., as having suffered no impairment in health while in the Army in order to enable him to maintain himself until he finds employment or until he receives further payment of any balance from the paymaster of any sum which may be due to him on his accounts; and how long such sum is calculated to maintain a man in view of the present cost of living?
§ Mr. FORSTER:As a general rule the minimum amount which a soldier who is not in debt would receive would be 25s. 1d., in addition to civilian clothes. This is irrespective of any allowance for dependants?
