HC Deb 08 April 1925 vol 182 cc2201-2
28. Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, seeing that the House of Commons has voted the money for the grant of marriage allowance for naval officers, he will state when it is proposed to commence the expenditure of it?

Mr. DAVIDSON

Pending settlement of the conditions under which marriage allowance, if any, is to be paid, I regret I am unable to make any statement.

Major HORE-BELISHA

Can the hon. Gentleman now say it is absolutely certain that these allowances will be paid?

Mr. DAVIDSON

No, Sir.
