§ 56. Miss Wilkinsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has further considered the question of payment for the necessary clerical work of the Auxiliary Territorial Service; and whether he can make any statement on the matter?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe provision of necessary clerical assistance to Auxiliary Territorial Service Companies is the responsibility of Territorial Army Associations, which receive grants for the purpose An increase in these grants is being considered.
§ Miss WilkinsonDo I understand that that increased grant will be sufficient for them to pay for this necessary clerical work? Is that the idea?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI trust so. Perhaps the hon. Lady will await the additions which we propose.
§ Miss WilkinsonIf the right hon. Gentleman will forgive me, I do not trust him, and that is why I am asking him.
