HC Deb 13 June 1944 vol 400 c1770
16. Miss Ward

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can make any statement with regard to increase in dependants' allowances.

Sir J. Grigg

I have nothing at present to add to the reply I gave my hon. Friend last Tuesday.

Miss Ward

Last Tuesday my right hon. Friend said he had an announcement to make shortly. Could he give me a definiton of "shortly" and say when the announcement will actually be made?

Sir J. Grigg

No, Sir.

Miss Ward

I regret that my right hon. Friend cannot define "shortly."
