HC Deb 06 March 1919 vol 113 cc648-9W
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Secretary of State for India whether officers in the Indian Army Reserve of Officers will be, granted one month's leave with full pay and allowances from the date of their disembarkation in the United Kingdom?

Mr. FISHER

Officers of the Indian Army Reserve sent home for demobilisation are liable, in accordance with War Office rules, to be demobilised at once on arrival, upon which the issue of pay ceases; but usually an interval occurs before their cases are finally disposed of, and in the meantime they continue to receive pay. They receive, on cessation of pay, gratuities varying, according to the length of their Army service, from three to seven months' full pay of their last Indian appointments.
