Captain Grahamasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that on mobilisation, a married private soldier in the Territorial Army, after the deduction of the compulsory allowance for his wife, will only have 6d. per diem Army pay; and whether he will take steps to improve this rate of pay, which is inadequate and unjust?
