HC Deb 28 March 1919 vol 114 cc764-5W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether married soldiers whose families were living in married quarters at the time of the outbreak of war and were evicted from their quarters by the military authorities, have been refused all compensation by the Civil Liabilities Commission, whereas soldiers with families who were married off the strength, and who were evicted from their homes, have received compensation; and, if so, whether any steps will be taken to remove this inequality of treatment?

Sir R. HORNE

I have been asked to reply to this question. I am not sure how far, if at all, the matter referred to comes within the scope of the Civil Liabilities Committee. If the Noble and gallant Member will send me the details of any of the cases to which he refers, I will have inquiry made into them.
