HC Deb 01 July 1924 vol 175 c1144W
Major MOULTON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the men employed by the D.O.R.E., Bulford, lose a day's pay on the King's birthday; and whether he will arrange that in future they are paid for this day?

Major ATTLEE

I understand that the only men in question who were not paid for the King's birthday holiday were certain casually employed men who were thought not to be eligible under the Regulations. They were afterwards found to be eligible, and the mistake is, accordingly, being rectified by the issue of the pay.
