§ Mr. HARRISONasked the Secretary of State for War whether a married Army officer, upon separation from his family, due to the exigencies of the service, gets full marriage allowance for his wife and, in addition, gets bachelor's allowance?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThere is no marriage allowance for Army 1133 officers, but married officers of certain ranks, if over 30 years of age, receive higher rates of lodging, fuel and light allowances than unmarried officers of the same rank. If the officer is separated from his family owing to the exigencies of the service, he draws the allowances in respect of his family and he himself is provided for as a bachelor.
§ Mr. HARRISONCould the right hon. Gentleman say what is the rank of the officers referred to in the first part of his answer?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI must ask for notice of that question. I am not quite sure.
