§ Mr. LYONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that in 1914 Post Office telegraphists were forbidden to enlist in any unit other than the Royal Engineers signal service, and that they were offered full civil pay in addition to Army pay and all emoluments if they did enlist in that corps; whether it is a fact that men in the signal service units are not to receive the war gratuity, but only £l for each year's service with the Colours; whether there are any other Government employés who received full civil pay as well as Army pay and who are being granted the war gratuity; and whether former Post Office employés who are officers in the signal service have received full civil as well as Army pay and are also being given the Service gratuity?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am afraid I can add nothing to the answer given on the 10th April to the hon. Member for Burnley.
