FINANCIAL AID
SOLDIERS’ COMPENSATION MR SUTHERLAND’S QUERY SAME AS ESSENTIAL WORKERS That in view of the fact that persons directed to essential work can claim by right £2 compensation per week where they have suffered a loss of wages, will the Ministers consider granting the same financial assistance on a similar basis to members of the Armed Forces;” was a question asked the Minister of Manpower by Mr A. S. Sutherland, M.P. for Hauraki, in the House of Representatives last week.
A note with the question stated: Many members of the Armed Forces could rightly be classified as directed workers. Financial assistance was granted to members of the Armed Forces, not as of right, but only at the discretion of the Soldiers’ Financial Assistance Board.
