HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 cc1935-6W
Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in paying the wages of the men of the Army of Occupation in Germany, any allowance is made for the fluctuations in the exchange value of the mark, or whether a fixed rate of exchange is taken as a basis of purchasing value?

Mr. CHURCHILL

An official rate of exchange is fixed monthly under instructions from the Treasury for issues of pay to the troops in Germany.
