§ Mr. BRODIEasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will make arrangements to refund, out of moneys to be included in the annual Army Estimates, payments made for inhabited house duty and rates by officers and non-commissioned officers on the lodging list who become liable to these payments owing to there being no room for them to live actually in barracks, so that although they are, by the terms of their appointments, entitled to free quarters, they do not actually enjoy them?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe reply is in the negative. The lodging allowance to officers who provide their own accommodation must be held to cover the charges mentioned.
