§ Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether officers employed in London, other than those occupying Government quarters, who are placed on the lodging list may have an increased allowance granted to them to meet the heavy cost of living in London; and whether such additional emolument can be given irrespective of any additions to the new daily rates of pay or consolidated rates which are in contemplation?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe question of granting a special London lodging allowance to officers has been very carefully considered in connection with the new rates of pay, and decided in the negative.
