78. Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the increase in the cost of living and the expenses thrown on married officers for removal of furniture on change of quarters, he will extend the same privileges to all classes of officers as are now granted to certain privileged ranks; and, if unable to do this, if he will ascertain if it would be fair and practicable to throw some of the burden borne by married officers on bachelors?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Harold Baker)I cannot at present add anything to the replies which I have given to questions on this subject put by my hon. Friend and the hon. and gallant Member for the Mahon Division.
