§ Mr. WATTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a number of the junior officers of the Lowland Division, who have been serving three years in Gallipoli, Egypt, and Palestine and are now in France, have been repeatedly subjected to reversion from temporary rank with anterior effect; whether this results in pay being demanded back for periods sometimes up to two years, in some cases amounting to hundreds of pounds; and, if so, whether his Department proposes to insist on such repayments?
Mr. FORSTERIf the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of any specific cases which he has in mind, I will have inquiries made.
