HC Deb 17 July 1919 vol 118 c639W
Major WARING

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the separation allowances paid to soldiers serving in Russia, and married since re-enlistment, are on a lower scale than are paid to soldiers serving in the Army of Occupation; and, if so, whether he can see his way to reconsider the decision and place all separation allowances on an equality?

Mr. FORSTER

I understand the question to refer to the non-payment of supplementary separation allowances to men who have re-enlisted after returning to civil life. These allowances are not payable in such cases.
