§ 64. Major C. S. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for War what steps are being taken to co-ordinate and simplify regulations governing the issue of pay and allowances to the Army.
§ Sir J. GriggI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply I gave my hon. and gallant Friends the Members for North Lanark (Major Anstruther-Gray) and South-East Leeds (Major Milner) on 19th January, 1943. In addition to the steps referred to in that answer a number of minor simplifications have been introduced in the system of allowances. I can hold out no hope of any major simplification at this stage of the war, but I hope that the post-war pay code may be more simple.
§ Major TaylorIs it fair to refer an hon. Member to a reply given over a year ago in regard to a Question which is now on the Order Paper?
§ Sir J. GriggI did my best to bring the answer up to date.
