Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that a telegraphist serving at Home in the Territorial Force suffers a deduction from his civil pay, although he may have volunteered for Foreign service, whilst a telegraphist who joins the Regular Army receives full civil pay while still serving at Home; and whether he will take steps to remove this difference of remuneration?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI am writing to the hon. Member on this subject.
Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War why applications from telegraphists serving at home 1504W in the Territorial Force (signal companies) for transfer to signal units of the Regular Army are being refused, whilst telegraphists are being drawn from the public services for enlistment into the Regular Army?
§ Mr. TENNANTAs already explained, Territorial, soldiers are not being discharged for the purpose of enlisting in the Regular Army.
