HC Deb 25 January 1944 vol 396 c532
46. Major C. S. Taylor

asked the Prime Minister whether any committee has been appointed to consider and report on the pay, allowances, conditions of service and promotion of all three Fighting Services so that those men who wish to make service in one of the Armed Forces their career may know what their post-war prospects are.

Mr. Attlee

Sir, until a clearer idea can be obtained of the permanent post-war conditions and requirements, it would be premature to set up a committee on the lines suggested.

Major Taylor

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that, unless there is an improvement in the pay, allowances and conditions, we shall not be able to get anybody to make the Armed Forces a career after the war?
