HC Deb 05 July 1920 vol 131 cc1041-2W
Sir A. SPROT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office if he is aware that the increase of Army pay announced in an Army Order in 1919 was not issued to a large number of soldiers serving in India prior to their departure for Great Britain for demobilisation; that these men have not yet received the extra pay due to them; and if he will take steps to accelerate the despatch of the last pay certificates from India or otherwise ensure that these men shall receive what is due to them without further delay?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

Instructions have been issued to paymasters to credit the accounts of men concerned for whom last pay certificates have been received with the special rupee rate of pay recently authorised by the Indian Government for men serving in India. Steps have been taken to accelerate despatch of outstanding last pay certificates from India.
