HC Deb 31 December 1916 vol 88 c1649W
Mr. HASLAM

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in order to assist men (known as Class W), not discharged from the Army, whose pay and separation allowances have however been stopped as they are expected to earn a living but who find they are not in a state of health to enable them to do so, he will take steps to enable local committees to afford temporary financial assistance from State funds by extending to them the provisions of He of Part II. of the Statutory Committee's Regulations or provide other means for giving assistance in such cases?

Mr. FORSTER

This question should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board as representing the Statutory Committee.
