HC Deb 20 April 1943 vol 388 cc1523-4
28. Mr. J. Dugdale

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it has been found possible for platoon commanders to explain to their men the system of war service grants now in operation?

Sir J. Grigg

As explained by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Pensions on 26th November last, wide publicity on many occasions and in various forms has been given to the existence of these grants and to the circumstances which justify their issue. If a soldier is in any doubt about his rights, he will no doubt ask his regimental officer at "Request Hour." The possibility of including something on this sub- ject in an A.B.C.A. publication is now being considered. I do not consider that any further steps are necessary.
