HC Deb 14 December 1937 vol 330 c996W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will reconsider the grant of free passages to nurses and governesses of officers' children, seeing that the withdrawal in 1933 of this concession presses most hardly on those officers who cannot afford or are unable to leave their children at home?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The concessions which replaced the grant of such passages are of far more general value to the Army as a whole. It is the current practice for officers to engage local nurses for their children.
