§ Mr. Silkinasked the Secretary of State for War what differences there are in the quantities of rationed and other foods supplied to officers of higher rank, junior officers and other ranks, respectively?
§ Sir J. GriggOfficers at home receive the same scale of rations in kind as other ranks. The officers do not, however, receive the cash allowance of 2½. which is admissible for other ranks. The position abroad differs in some respects from the position at home and I would refer my hon. Friend to an answer I gave to the hon. Member for Bassetlaw (Mr. Bellenger) on 2nd February on this subject, of which I am sending him a copy. At home and abroad junior officers receive the same rations as senior officers.
