HC Deb 09 April 1946 vol 421 cc1788-9
47. Mr. Bossom

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is yet ready to standardise the capitation grants made for members of the Air Training Corps, the Army Cadet Force and the Sea Cadet Force and to make a special allowance for equipment.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Dalton)

No, Sir. The needs of these three Forces are quite different.

Mr. Bossom

Does not the Chancellor recognise that there is going to be great difficulty in getting the Forces on to an equal footing?

Mr. Dalton

It is still true that the needs of the three Forces are quite different.

Mr. Bossom

If the Chancellor will look at my Question, he will see that I referred to a special allowance for equipment which would make a difference in these three Forces.
