§ Mr. Sharpasked the Secretary of State for War why the account of 171640 Sergeant J. I. Senior, R.A.S.C., who was demobilised in March, 1946, has not yet been credited with, and payment made of, approximately £35 to which he is entitled; why it takes Regimental-Paymaster, R.A.S.C., over nine months to receive relevant details from Regimental-Paymaster, Meerut, India; and whether he will now arrange for this badly-needed payment to be made.

§ Mr. BellengerFollowing representations on his behalf, Mr. Senior's objection to the payment of mess subscriptions whilst in India, were referred to the Indian authorities for consideration, and on 5th November, 1946, a sum of £7 1s. 9d. already charged to his service account in this respect was refunded to88W Him. Unfortunately, his claim for a refund of a further sum of £21 11s. 6d., paid by him direct on his monthly mess bills was overlooked, but this has now been referred to G.H.Q., India, for adjudication in accordance with Indian regution. I very much regret the delay in this case.
