HC Deb 27 April 1917 vol 92 c2737W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that married Civil servants serving with the Forces are deterred from accepting commissions because by so doing their families would be left without adequate means of support, he will give an undertaking that, in the event of separation allowances being granted to junior officers, such allowances will not, in the case of Civil servants, be deducted from their civil pay?

Mr. BALDWIN

I cannot undertake to answer a purely hypothetical question.
