§ 61. Mr. McKayasked the Secretary of State for War whether the Army pay and allowances for the soldier, about whom particulars have been given to him, who was called up on 17th August and discharged on 4th September, have yet been paid ; and if he is aware that the delay in payment has caused an application for National Assistance to be made.
§ Mr. HareThis soldier received the balance of pay for his period of service on 12th September and a further payment for his terminal leave on 19th September. I was not aware that he had applied for National Assistance on discharge until I received the hon. Member's letter of 8th September. I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my regret for the financial worry caused by the delay.
