HC Deb 07 June 1939 vol 348 cc435-6W
Mr. De Chair

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the reduction of the age limit for marriage allowances for other ranks, he will reduce the age limit for officers' marriage allowances proportionately?

Sir V. Warrender

The considerations which led to the reduction of the age limit for family allowance for other ranks do not apply in the case of officers, and I cannot give the undertaking that there will be a reduction of the age limit in their case.
