HC Deb 01 November 1939 vol 352 c1962W
Mr. D. Graham

asked the Secretary of State for War whether payments of allowances are made to the illegitimate children of wives of serving soldiers in England; and why such allowances are not made to the wives of soldiers in Scotland?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The Regulations make no distinction between England and Scotland in this respect. Children's allowance is not admissible in either case for an illegitimate child unless legitimated or statutorily adopted.
