§ 31. Major-General Sir Alfred Knoxasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now make a statement regarding the allowances to serving soldiers whose dependants are resident in France?
§ The Secretary of State for War (Sir James Grigg)I am not yet in a position to make a statement on this subject.
§ Sir A. KnoxCan the right hon. Gentleman tell me when I can put a Question down again?
§ Sir J. GriggPerhaps the hon. and gallant Gentleman will let me take the initiative and tell him when I am in a position to give him an answer in order that he may put down another Question.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallWhat is holding up the statement, for it would appear to most of us an easy problem to solve?
§ Sir J. GriggIt involves discussions with Departments outside the War Office.
