§ Mr. HUME- WILLIAMSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any allowance in the nature of separation allowance is made to the British-born wives of aliens in the country who have been deprived of their means of supporting their families by compulsory internment; and whether he is of opinion that some provision should be made for these British-born women when they are in want?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERI have been asked to answer this question. Allowances from public funds are made by His Majesty's Government to the British-born wives of interned enemies and their children. The maximum allowances are, in London, 12s. 6d. a week for the wife and 3s. for each child, and outside London 10s. a week for the wife and 3s. for each child.
