HC Deb 17 March 1932 vol 263 c471W
Mr. PARKINSON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty why the First Sea Lord is in receipt of a house allowance of £450 per annum instead of living in the accommodation provided by the Admiralty?

Lord STANLEY

In the interests of economy, the First Sea Lord has relinquished his furnished official residence, receiving instead a house allowance. The accommodation thus released is being used for office purposes and will make it possible to give up hired accommodation elsewhere, with a resultant substantial saving in rent.
