HC Deb 14 September 1914 vol 66 c789W
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked whether the 3s. a day sustenance allowance will be granted to the men who were called up from the National Reserve, Classes I. and II., in order to relieve the regular troops from guard duties, etc.?

Mr. TENNANT

The men called up for these duties have been taken from Classes II. and III., and they have been enlisted into Territorial Force units as supernumeraries. As Territorial soldiers they would be entitled to pay and allowances. If they do not receive rations in kind they will get 2s. in addition to pay and any other allowances to which they may be entitled.
