Lieutenant-Colonel HERBERTasked the Secretary of State for War why separation allowance is not issued to the wives of men in agricultural companies in cases where the men are able to live with their families, thus causing considerable hardship?
Captain GUESTThese men are living at home, and they receive the full civil wage for their work and a slight additional payment from Army funds. In these circumstances, it is not considered that any hardship is caused by the non-payment of separation allowances.
