§ 46. Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State for Air whether, as the Air Ministry has decided not to give marriage allowance to airmen under 26, he will recognise any children there may be for the ordinary children's allowance when the airman in question is old enough to qualify for marriage allowance?
§ Sir P. SASSOONI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Southwark Central (Colonel Day), on 18th June.
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHASince the hon. Baronet gave that answer, has it not been borne in upon him that it is a very great injustice to deprive a man of an allowance in respect of his children because he was not married before he reached the age of 26?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThey are not deprived. They are made an allowance for children born before the airman reached the age of 26.
