HC Deb 25 November 1941 vol 376 cc613-4W
Mr. Burke

asked the Secretary of State for War whether part of a soldier's increase in pay is compulsorily added to any allotment he may be making; and in what proportion is the increase divided between the soldier and the allotment received by his dependant?

Captain Margesson

I append a table showing how the allotment which a soldier is required to make as a condition of the issue of family or dependants' allowance varies according to his rate of pay:

Daily rates of pay (including War Pay, Proficiency Pay, etc.). Allotments.
Family Allowance. Dependants' Allowance.
