§ Lieut.-Commander Tufnellasked the Secretary of State for War whether regimental paymasters are definitely instructed to supply to applicants copies of the form M.S.A.C. 21; and whether, as many of them are still raising difficulties in the way of meeting applications, he will repeat the instructions for the general information of all paymasters concerned?
§ Sir E. GriggThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I am not aware of the difficulties alleged in the Question, and the instructions on the point issued by the Army Council are clear. If my hon. and gallant Friend will let me have particulars of cases where these instructions are not being followed, I will inquire into the matter.
