asked the Under secretary of State for War if he is aware that, at the outbreak of the present War and up to the 4th December, 1914, retired officers recalled to duty were granted an outfit allowance of £100 under paragraph 671, Allowance Regulations, 1914, and that those retired officers who were recalled to duty after 4th December, 1914, were granted an outfit allowance of £50 only; and whether he will state the reason of this inequality?

The facts are as stated. It was found that £50 was a sufficient grant towards the cost of uniform as required for this War.
