HC Deb 01 October 1941 vol 374 cc600-1W
Major Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for War, under what code of family allowance will officers come who are over 30 years of age and who marry after 1st January, 1942; and whether steps will be taken to prevent the compulsory adoption by them of the new rate which might operate to the officers' disadvantage as against the old code?

Mr. Sandys

Any officer serving as an officer before 1st January, 1942, whether he marries before or after that date, will receive family lodging allowance at the old rates, unless he himself elects before 1st January, 1942, to come on to the new code.
