§ Mr. ROWNTREEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Army allowance on account of a soldier's son is decreased by 2s. a week when the boy reaches the ago of fourteen; and whether, in view of the fact that this seriously handicaps parents who wish to keep their children at school after that age, and in view of the desire of the Government to encourage secondary education, he can see his way to promise a modification of the rule?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on this subject on the 11th instant to the hon. Member for Bolton, of which I am sending him a copy.
