§ Mr. SUGDENasked the Secretary of State for War if he will recommend the Army Council to cancel the Order recently issued, stating that soldiers of the New Army will not be permitted to allot money to their dependants through the regimental paymaster while they remain in the United Kingdom, because this Order ignores the regimental machinery which the soldier has been trained to use for the purpose, whereby his proper financial family responsibilities may be undertaken?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am not aware of any authority having been given for the issue of such an Order, but I will inquire into the matter and let my hon. Friend know the result.
