§ 6. Mr. Graham Whiteasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will take steps to have the regimental coal issues made adequate, so that it will not be necessary for all ranks to supplement them from their pay?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe scale of fuel issuable to units and detachments has been increased with effect from 1st June, 1937; I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the relevant Army Order. The scale for officers' and serjeants' messes is at present being considered.
§ Mr. WhitePresumably this will obviate a source of discontent which has existed in the past as indicated in the question?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI hope so, Sir, but I cannot guarantee that discontent can always be removed, however much one may try.
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaYes, Sir.
