§ Mr. SNOWDENasked why the colonial allowance is not being paid to non-commissioned officers and privates with the troops in Egypt, seeing that the promise was given several months ago that this allowance would be paid to these classes in kind?
§ Mr. FORSTERAs I have explained in answer to previous questions, non-commissioned officers and privates are not entitled to colonial allowance. I am not aware of any promise to the contrary.
