asked the Secretary of State for War when it is proposed to authorise the payment of gratuities and credits of W (T) Reserve men.

Those released under the Release Scheme in Class B or Class C for indefinite periods receive their gratuities and credits soon after release and without application. Men who were previously granted indefinite release have not yet been paid, but it was recently decided that payment should begin and a Press notice will be issued within a few days showing how application should be made, owing to the large numbers involved some delay in payment is inevitable.
