HC Deb 12 October 1939 vol 352 c501
27. Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that a sense of unfairness exists amongst schoolteachers, who have been evacuated with their schools, because no allowance is made to cover the extra cost of food and other expenses involved; and whether he will review the matter?

Mr. Elliot

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on the 9th instant to a similar question by the hon. Member for West Willesden (Mr. Viant).

Mr. Ridley

Will the Minister expedite this inquiry having regard to the very severe hardships experienced by a considerable number of people?
