§ Brigadier-General CROFTasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been called to the fact that commissioned officers when demobilised do not receive twenty-eight days' leave with pay as is the case with non-commissioned officers and men; and whether, in view of the difficulty of finding immediate employment, such privileges will also be extended to the commissioned ranks?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThis was very fully considered by the War Cabinet, and I do not propose to reopen the question. The temporary officer draws a very much larger gratuity on demobilisation than the non-commissioned officer or man.
