§ 40. Mr. HODGEasked the Under-Secretary for War whether he is aware that the allowance for uniform and kit of £20 has given rise to dissatisfaction; and whether, seeing that no officer can provide such under £40, he will consider making such increased allowance such as will prevent such officers incurring a loss1?
Mr. BAKERThe full outfit allowance is £50. The allowance of £20 is only given in cases in which a full campaigning outfit is not required, and I am not aware that it has been found inadequate.
