§ 28. Mr. G. Campbellasked the Secretary of State for Defence what proposals he has for amending the qualifying allotment for marriage allowance for ranks of corporal or equivalent and below; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ReynoldsI cannot yet add to the Answer given to the hon. Member by my hon. Friend the then Under-Secretary of 83 State for the Army on 22nd June, 1966.—[Vol. 730, c. 572–3.]
§ Mr. CampbellAs it is almost a year since the Minister stated in the House that the question was under review, is it not high time that the matter was decided by the Government, especially as it is of much concern to S.S.A.F.A.?
§ Mr. ReynoldsThis matter is still being looked at. In my view, it is not as urgent as a number of other problems which have to be dealt with—and my views in respect of it are completely the opposite of the hon. Member's.
