HC Deb 27 February 1917 vol 90 c1827
5. Commander WEDGWOOD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the question of giving separation allowances to the wives of junior officers during the War is still under consideration; and, if so, will he say when a decision is likely to be reached?

Mr. FORSTER

I understand from my right hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board that an announcement on this subject will be made very shortly.

Mr. HOGGE

Will my hon. Friend say to what rank that applies?

Mr. FORSTER'S

answer was inaudible in the Reporters' Gallery.
