§ Mr. HURDasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether there is any special reason why no result has followed from the six personal applications of the hon. Member for Frome to the Accounts Complaints Department of the War Office, and the two letters addressed to himself as Financial Secretary on 12th October last and subsequently, respecting the claim for a final settlement of arrears of working pay dating from 20th January, 1917, of Private E. C. Sutton, No. 142555, 374 H.S. Labour Company, now of Frome; and when a settlement will be made?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONConsiderable difficulty was found in investigating the facts of this case; and it was only possible on 3rd November to issue instructions for a payment of £25 to Private Sutton in settlement of his claim.
