§ 14. Brigadier Terence Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been drawn to the high cost of living in Cyprus; and, in view of the inadequacy of the allowances to the Forces in this station, if he will increase them.
§ Mr. HeadThe rates of local overseas allowance for the Forces in Cyprus have recently been reviewed and substantial increases have now been authorised, which are to be effective from 1st April of last year.
§ Brigadier ClarkeMay I thank the Minister for that answer? Until a very recent date, Cyprus has lagged behind the rest of the overseas stations.
