HC Deb 09 December 1919 vol 122 cc1152-3W
Sir H. HARRIS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether Lieut.-Colonel Somerville served on the staff of Major-General Knox in Siberia for some time in 1919 and only received regimental pay; and, if so, whether he will state why Lieut.-Colonel Somerville did not receive the pay appropriate to the appointment he held?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Lieut. - Colonel Somerville drew regimental pay from 28th April, 1919, to 19th August, 1919. The case was fully considered before it was decided that this was the appropriate rate.
