HC Deb 22 June 1926 vol 197 cc230-1
19. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, as the War Office has decided not to give marriage allowance to men under 26, he will recognise any children there may be for the ordinary children's allowance when the man in question is old enough to qualify for marriage allowance?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Southwark.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Will the right hon. Gentleman say if he is inquiring into this, and will he remove this injustice?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I think there is no injustice, as the hon. Gentleman will see if he looks at the answer I gave yesterday.
