HC Deb 03 March 1936 vol 309 c1178
35. Sir REGINALD BLAKER

asked the Secretary of State for War what would be the cost involved, on the basis of the numbers attending annual camp in 1935, of abolishing the age limit for marriage allowance for men of the Territorial Army?

Mr. COOPER

The cost would be approximately £11,000 a year.

36. Sir R. BLAKER

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the maximum annual sum which a sergeant in the Territorial Army may receive after attending 30 drills and annual training at camp?

Mr. COOPER

The maximum annual sum drawn by a sergeant in the Territorial Army depends upon a considerable number of factors, e.g., his qualifications, and whether he is married or not. The average emoluments drawn, excluding rations in camp, may be taken as roughly £8 a year.
