HC Deb 23 November 1943 vol 393 c1448
57. Mr. Evelyn Walkden

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total cost to the Exchequer for the last financial year of subsistence allowances paid to fire-guards under the Fire Prevention (Business Premises) Order and other Statutory Orders under which subsistence allowance is payable for fireguard duties?

Mr. Assheton

Reimbursement of subsistence allowances made to fire-guards is made by a number of different authorities and Departments, and it will take some little time to obtain the information asked for in the Question. I am making inquiries and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as possible.
