§ Major NEWMANasked the Secretary of State for War whether temporary captains of the Veterinary Corps get 1s. 6d. a day more than Territorial veterinary captains; and whether an outfit allowance of £50 instead of £20 can be retrospectively granted to veterinary officers who had five years' service previous to mobilisation?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, but the Territorial officer draws a larger gratuity. The answer to the second part is in the negative. Throughout the Service the £50 outfit grant is limited to officers who joined since mobilisation.
