HC Deb 30 May 1924 vol 174 c750W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the Secretary of State for War if non-commissioned officers and men in the Army are allowed to allot money to parents or dependants, and up to what proportion of their pay?

Mr. WALSH

Soldiers who are serving abroad, and those serving at home who are in receipt of marriage allowance, are allowed to allot money to be paid direct by the paying authorities to their dependants. Such allotments are not allowed to exceed three-fourths of the soldier's pay, and are payable to one dependant only. In all other cases it is left to the men themselves to make their own arrangements for paying money to their dependants.
