HC Deb 18 August 1919 vol 119 c1958W
Mr. LUNN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a General Routine Order, No. 4,840, was published to the effect that a special allowance would be made to all men in the Egyptian Expeditionary Force for each six months' service abroad without leave; that this Order was endorsed by Army Council Instruction 851; that the Order has never been carried out; that thousands of men have thus been deprived of allowance promised to them; whether it is now proposed to carry out the Order; and, if not, will he state the reason?

Mr. FORSTER
