§ Major Earl WINTERTONasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware (1) that Private R. E. Rowe, No. R/4/063080, Royal Army Service Corps, remounts, claims that he is owed £6 2s. back pay and ration allowance, which he cannot get paid; that this pay and allowance has reference to a period during 1918, when he was extra-regimentally employed by Colonel Hambro, now deputy-assistant director of remounts, on the latter's private property in Suffolk; and why he was so employed, having regard to the fact that he was graded Category 1; and
(2) if he is aware that Private R. E. Rowe, No. R/4/068080, Royal Army Service Corps, remounts, claims that he lent out of his own pocket the sum of £74 10s. in 1918 to the then squadron-quartermaster-sergeant of No. 82 Remount Squadron, at Swaythling; and if he will cause an inquiry to be made into the administration of Swaythling Remount Depot in 1918?
§ Mr. FORSTERI have no information regarding these questions, but inquiries are being made, and I will inform my Noble Friend of the result as soon as possible.
