HC Deb 02 July 1930 vol 240 c1943
21. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Board of Admiralty has now given fresh consideration to the award of marriage allowances for naval officers; and whether he can now make a statement?

Mr. ALEXANDER

This matter is still under the consideration of the Board of Admiralty.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any indication when a decision is likely to be reached?

Mr. ALEXANDER

I cannot, as there are many contingent matters which will take a long time to examine.
