§ Colonel LESLIE WILSONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in the event of a man becoming a casualty who has not declared that he desires to reduce his allotment by the amount of the concession, the separation allowance issuable for twenty-six weeks after his death will be increased by the amount of the concession?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe suggestion, as I understand it, is that when a man who was relieved of any stoppage from his pay on account of the allowance to his wife or dependant has not signified any desire to make a voluntary allotment before his death, he should he regarded as having made such an allotment. If I have interpreted my hon. and gallant Friend's intention aright, I fear that I cannot adopt the suggestion.
