HC Deb 28 January 1942 vol 377 c714
48. Mr. Vernon Bartlett

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the increase in allowances to the dependants of those serving in any branch of His Majesty's Forces has not kept pace with the increase in the cost of living, he is yet in a position to announce an improvement?

Mr. Attlee

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave yesterday in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Wallsend (Miss Ward).

Mr. Thorne

As my right hon. Friend is replying for the Prime Minister, would it be out of place to thank the man who broadcast his speech last night?
