§ 72. Sir BERTRAM FALLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the amount of annual uniform allowance or the annual value of uniform supplied to naval and marine pensioners employed as officers' servants at Whale Island; whether these men are supplied with service beds and bedding; and whether, seeing that the quarters allotted to them consist of a bedroom each for single men and married quarters for married men, he will say what is the estimated yearly value of the quarters supplied?
Mr. ALEXANDERThe annual allowance was formerly £2 10s.; the cost of the uniforms provided will be greater, but the exact amount cannot yet be stated; the answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative; the estimated yearly value of the quarters provided is £13.
