§ Mr. Liddallasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that paragraph 318, amended, of the Supplementary Reserve Regulations, 1933, pro- 2125W hibits officers of the Supplementary Reserve who spread their preliminary training over two or more years applying for travelling expenses; and whether he is prepared to rescind this regulation in view of the hardship caused to officers who may live at considerable distances from their depots?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe provisions of the regulation are not as stated. An officer of the Supplementary Reserve who spreads his training over two or more years is allowed travelling expenses for two return journeys if the total period of training is not less than eight weeks, or if the training has to be performed partly at a depot and partly with a unit.
