13. Sir THOMAS ESMONDE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if any decision has been arrived at regarding the payment by parents or guardians of allowances to midshipmen during the War?

I am glad to announce that the private allowance payable by parents on behalf of acting sub-lieutenants, midshipmen, and assistant clerks has been waived, as from the 1st instant, for the remaining period of the War.
