HC Deb 12 June 1918 vol 106 c2219W
Major DAVIES

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether an officer who refuses to contribute out of his pay and allowances anything towards the maintenance of his wife and children can be compelled by the Army Council to make some allotment in order that his family may not be chargeable to the poor rate?

Mr. FORSTER

My hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The answer is in the negative.
