§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Secretary of State for War the reason for the delay in arriving at a decision regarding the placing of officers of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps on similar conditions as regards half-pay as those existing in other arms of the service; and whether he will give immediate consideration to the question and give a decision, seeing that the matter was under consideration on 13th May, 1920.
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI hope that a decision may be reached shortly, but in view of the increased cost involved the matter requires very careful consideration.
