HC Deb 22 April 1920 vol 128 cc584-5W
Mr. CHARLES EDWARDS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any man who was in the Army Reserve and who re-enlisted when War broke out was entitled to the £10 bounty mentioned in Army Form B 218 P 27/GN/4,065, irrespec- tive of what unit he joined; and, if so, why First Air-mechanic A. G. H. Roberts, No. 406,690, late Royal Air Force, has not been paid the above amount?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I presume the hon. Member refers to the National Reserve. The £10 bounty was issuable only to a National Reservist, Class I or II, who was registered as such before 11th August, 1914, and who enlisted before 1st December, 1915, in the Regular Army for general service. I am investigating the particular case mentioned, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
