HC Deb 01 July 1918 vol 107 c1403
74. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if the ration allowance issued to a married soldier sent on furlough pending discharge is only 1s. 4d. per day for seven days, which is insufficient to provide him with a proper amount of food at the present prices; and, if so, whether he will take any action in the matter?

Mr. FORSTER

The question of increasing this rate, which is issuable only in the case of men whose wives are in receipt of separation allowance, is under consideration.
