HC Deb 09 June 1942 vol 380 cc913-4
48. Miss Cazalet

asked the Prime Minister what is the approximate weekly all-in cost to the State of each man and woman serving in the ranks of His Majesty's Forces?

Mr. Attlee

It would be impracticable, owing to the widely different conditions in the various branches of the Services and the difficulty in determining the many complicated factors which would have to be taken into account, to provide any reliable average figures of this character.
