HC Deb 10 July 1917 vol 95 c1756W
Brigadier-General CROFT

asked the Minister of Munitions whether his attention has been called to the fact that men who have been discharged under Army Council Instruction 316 being temporarily released from the Army and placed at the disposal of the Ministry of Munitions are refused allowance as Munition Volunteers; and whether they are placed at a disadvantage with the ordinary Munition Volunteer?

Dr. ADDISON

The men to whom the hon. Member refers are eligible for enrolment as War Munitions Volunteers. If they so enrol, they receive whatever allowances may be due to them under the terms of the scheme in exactly the same way as any other War Munitions Volunteer. If the hon. and gallant Member knows of any cases in which this is not being done, the Ministry of Munitions will be glad to be informed.
