HOME DEFENCE TROOPS
Allotment Of Portion Of
Pay
Troops now mobilized for continuous service in New Zealand are being required to allot" portion of their pay. ibis statement was made last evening by the Minister of Defence, Mr. Jones.
"During the periods of intensive Territorial training, which normally did not extend beyond three months, it was not deemed necessary to impose upon Territorials the obligation of allotting portion of their pay. and they were permitted to draw full pay each fortnight,” said Mr. Jones. “Alternatively,' a nominal amount could be drawn and any balance accumulated for payment at the termination of their camp service.
“With so many troops performing continuous service in New Zealand, the allotment provisions as applicable to members of the 2nd N.Z.E.F. are being applied. The same scale as lahl down for 2nd. N.Z.E.F. personnel is in operation, married men allotting to dependants and unmarried men to P. 0.5.8. accounts.”
