§ Captain BOWYERasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will inquire into the case of Mr. E. G. Fathers, late Private, No. 7715, Bedfordshire Regiment; if he is aware that, in spite of repeated applications both from this man and from the British Legion, every effort has failed to get the regimental paymaster to pay the arrears of pay, amounting to about £25, which are due to him; and if he will expedite the settlement of this account and the payment of all arrears clue as soon as possible?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe Regimental Paymaster, Warley, has just been instructed to pay the balance of pay, namely, £2 10s. 5d., which appears to be the balance due to Mr. E. G. Fathers, late No. 7715 Bedfordshire Regiment, forthwith. Before this ease could be settled considerable correspondence had to be undertaken with the authorities in India.
