HC Deb 16 April 1940 vol 359 c776
20. Mr. Levy

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the delay in paying the allowances for officers' uniform and equipment, and, as this causes hardship to traders and officers, will he take steps to ensure that these allowances are paid within a reasonable time?

Mr. Stanley

I am not aware of any delay, when the allowance is properly claimed in accordance with the regulations on the subject. If my hon. Friend will let me have particulars of any cases which he has in mind, I will have them investigated.
