§ Mr. J. DENNISasked the Secretary of State for War whether Ordnance shoemakers who served overseas received only 6d. per day corps pay in addition to their ordinary Army pay, whilst Ordnance shoemakers employed in England received 1s. per day working pay and a bonus in addition to their ordinary Army pay; whether it is intended that this difference 1902W or any other that existed be made up to the soldiers who served abroad, so that they may be put on an equal footing with those who were retained in the workshops at home under the Ordnance command; and, if not, how the Department justifies this preferential treatment?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI would refer the hon. Member to my reply on 3rd August last to a question on this subject pub by the hon. Member for Welling-borough (Mr. W. R. Smith).
