§ Mr. DEVLINasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has 905W been called to the delay in the payment of gratuities to demobilised men in Ireland and to the indignation felt by these ex-soldiers towards the authorities at this treatment; whether a great number of these men are absolutely dependent for a livelihood on these payments; and whether he will take immediate action to expedite the matter?
§ Mr. FORSTERA written reply was given to a similar question by my hon. Friend on the 24th instant, inviting him to let us have details of any cases of delay that might have come under his notice. I do not trace receipt of any such details, and can at present add nothing to the former reply.
