HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 c2402W
Major Sir E. COATES

asked if time-expired men on re-enlisting are given a bonus; and, if so, what amount; does the bonus also extend to men in the Territorial Force who re-enlist for active service; and will the Secretary of State make regulations so that time-expired men who re-enlisted during last year may receive such bonus?

Mr. W. THORNE

asked whether it is proposed to pay bounties to the Territorials re-enlisted, retained, or recalled under the Military Service Act?

Mr. FORSTER

Men compulsorily recalled or retained under the new Military Service Act will receive a bounty. This-includes Territorials. Men who voluntarily re-engaged before the Act was passed will be dealt with according to the Regulations which were in force at the time of their re-engagement.
