HC Deb 29 April 1925 vol 183 c146
8. Major HORE-BELISHA (on behalf of Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether a decision has been arrived at with regard to the payment of marriage allowances to officers in the Royal Navy?

Mr. DAVIDSON

The answer is in the negative.

Major HORE-BELISHA

Mr. DAVIDSON

The decision has to be made by the Government, and they have not arrived at one yet.
