HC Deb 18 June 1918 vol 107 c190W
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the increased regimental pay of 1d. per day for each year of service, to which Royal Engineers' signallers are entitled, is being refused to the men who served in Gallipoli with the Royal Naval Division, and that the sums already paid are being deducted; whether he is aware that these men were in receipt of military rates of pay whilst serving with the Royal Naval Division; and whether he will see that these men do not suffer a loss of pay because part of their service was performed with the Royal Naval Division?

Mr. FORSTER

I have been in communication with the Admiralty on the subject, and hope to be in a position to arrive at a decision shortly.
