§ Sir S. SCOTTasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office why retired Regular officers appointed during the War for duty with the Territorial Force were granted only £20 outfit allowance while officers similarly employed in the Regular Forces were granted £100.
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe hon. and gallant Member is under a misapprehension. Retired officers appointed during the War for duty with the Territorial Force were granted the outfit allowance appropriate to their appointment. If required for combatant service they received £50; if required for sedentary work, when fighting kit need not be provided, £20. Retired officers re-employed with the Regular forces before 5th December, 1914, drew £100 as laid down in the Allowance Regulations, but those appointed from that date onwards drew the allowance appropriate to the appointment exactly as did retired officers reemployed with the Territorial Force.
