HC Deb 08 July 1930 vol 241 c223
31. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has now been able to reconsider the question of the recent reduction in ration allowances to non-commissioned officers and men on leave; and if he is unable to restore the original position, whether he can improve the present rates?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. T. Shaw)

Yes, Sir. I have gone very carefully into this question, but regret that it is not possible to make any change during the current financial year. I am, however, arranging that the matter shall be very fully considered in connection with next year's estimates.
