HC Deb 30 September 1915 vol 74 c1021W
Sir DANIEL GODDARD

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he is aware that the Colonial allowance is not being paid to the troops of the Expeditionary Force to the Dardanelles who were landed in Egypt after the loss of the "Royal Edward," and who have resided there for six weeks; and, in view of the fact that this allowance was announced officially as being issued to all whose stay there exceeded fourteen days, he will explain why the allowance is withheld?

Mr. FORSTER

It appears that other allowances, not less favourable to the troops, were at first given in lieu. Instructions have already been issued that the Colonial allowance should be paid in future.
