HC Deb 22 November 1917 vol 99 cc1381-2W
Mr. WING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will take steps to see that soldiers on being transferred from one regiment to another are informed of the amount of money standing to their credit or otherwise on such transference, in order that the men shall know the exact state of their accounts when the same is being transferred?

Mr. FORSTER

As regards men serving with an Expeditionary Force overseas, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on the 5th instant to the hon. Member for West Bradford. In all other cases the balance is notified to the new commanding officer, for communication to the man.
