COMMITTEE TO DEAL WITH ANOMALIES. Representatives of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association interviewed Sir James Allen on Saturday on a tonic which has long been before the association and the Minister—alleged anomalies in the payment of gratuities and separation allowances- The Minister has always admitted the possibility oi anomalies, and the suggestion that these cases should l>e submitted to some committee, or possibly to the Pension Board, iiad already lieen "ma-do by the Minister. The proposal of the deputation was that the cases not covered by the regulations should be referred to n com.mit.tce consisting of the head of the Pay Department, the Director of Base Records, and a representative of the Returned Soldiers' Association.
1 Sir James Allen agreed to the setting up of a committee, and promised that the association should have representation on it, but he made the stipulation that the committee should receive onl£ case.i which the association had first investigated. The committee could then consider whether such cases were anomalies, and whether the regulations would not cover them. The cases would, after consideration by the committee,' be submitted to the Minister.
