HC Deb 28 November 1916 vol 88 cc178-9W
General IVOR PHILIPPS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that county Appeal Tribunals are put to personal expense when holding meetings in country districts, as the-present scale of travelling expenses allowed to such tribunals is insufficient to cover their actual travelling expenses; and whether he will consider the desirability of relieving the gentlemen performing this public duty from any pecuniary loss entailed by such travelling expenses?

Mr. FORSTER

The existing Regulations have been drawn up after very careful consideration. If my hon. and gallant Friend is aware of any case of special hardship, consideration will be given to it if particulars are furnished.
