HC Deb 05 June 1919 vol 116 cc2268-9W
Mr. MACQUISTEN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that a soldier, out of hospital and undergoing hospital treatment, and forbidden any work however light, receives, after deducting 12s. 6d. per week for his keep in hospital, in pay 4s. per week less than the joint allowance made to a soldier and his wife when the soldier is in hospital, although when out of hospital he has to feed himself; and whether this arrangement will be rectified?

Mr. FORSTER

I do not follow the figures given by my hon. Friend, but if ho will give me details of the case he has in mind I will look into it.
