HC Deb 09 May 1939 vol 347 cc279-80
33. Mr. Sandys

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in cases of hardship, assistance will be given to Territorials called out for emergency service in peace time who may find themselves unable to meet out of Army pay their existing commitments for rent, etc.?

The Financial Secretary to the War Office (Sir Victor Warrender)

I would refer hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Widnes (Mr. Pilkington) by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 4th May last.

Lieut.-Colonal Dower

Will that additional assistance include the £5 embodiment grant?

Sir V. Warrender

Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will wait for the statement which my right hon. Friend will make to-day.
