§ Sir G. COLLINSasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, with respect to the decision regarding war bonus 543W payable to Government servants who served with the forces during the War, if he can state the cause of the delay in the settlement of the claims of members of the staff of the sheriff clerk of Lanarkshire; and whether a settlement will be made at an early date?
Mr. GUINNESSThe claims to reassessment of balance of civil pay of members of the staffs of sheriff clerks' offices who served with His Majesty's Forces during the Great War present points of difficulty; but the matter is receiving attention, and it is hoped that an early decision will be reached.
