§ 77. Mr. Skinnardasked the Secretary of State for War the effective date to which the postwar credits of 6d. a day is allowed to personnel demobilised prior to 30th June, 1946; and whether the whole period of release and overseas leave is included as stated in Section 13 of pay-form R 17 for Class A releases.
Mr. BallengerPostwar credits of 6d. a day are allowed for soldiers, but not officers, up to the end of the period of paid leave granted on release or up to 30th June, 1946, whichever is the earlier. The announcement that postwar credits will cease to accrue as from 1st July, 1946, was made in the White Paper on the postwar Code of Pay and Allowances. Steps are being taken to amend the pay form referred to, so as to make this limitation clear.
