§ Mr. R. MCNEILLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office if Sapper Elridge, No. 574,539, Field Searchlight Company, Royal Engineers, who was demobilised in October, 1919, has never yet been able to obtain a final settlement of his accounts from the War Office: and if he will give instructions that the gratuity and credits due to this ex-soldier, of which he is in urgent need, shall be paid to him without further delay?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe balance of the account and war gratuity of No. 574,539, Sapper Elridge, Royal Engineers, were paid on the 9th instant. His last pay certificate has only very recently been received from India, and it was therefore not possible finally to settle his account before.
