§ Major HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that children's allowances are stopped in addition to marriage allowance when a soldier refuses to live with his wife, through no fault on the wife's part, but are payable to a guardian other than the wife, whereas it was obviously not the intention of the Regulation to penalise a mother, who is better qualified to look after her children than any guardian he will take steps to confer with the other Service Departments concerned with a view to modifying this Regulation.
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSMy right hon. Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty explained the position in answer to a similar questions addressed to him by the hon. Member yesterday. My Department will review the Regulation in consultation with the Admiralty and the Air Ministry.
