§ Mr. WADDINGTONasked the Secretary of State for War whether Territorials who were serving on Army engagements when the War commenced, and who completed their four years' service, and then continued their service, and who would be entitled to a bounty of £15 for the fifth year of service, but who were demobilised before the end of such fifth year, can now be awarded a proportionate monthly part of the £15 bounty to which they would have been entitled had they completed a full fifth year of service?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to his similar question of Thursday last. The bounty is not payable in respect of the extra year of service for which a Territorial soldier is liable under Section 9 (5) of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act, 1907, but in respect of the further service beyond that year for which he became liable under the Military Service Acts.
