§ Sir G. Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Air why, for the purpose of allowances as laid down in A.M. Pamphlet 64 married officers of the balloon squadron of the Auxiliary Air Force are regarded as unmarried; and whether he will see that in the future these married officers shall receive all the allowances to which any married officer is entitled?
§ Sir K. WoodOfficers who are called out for service under the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces Act are eligible for married rates of accommodation allowances under the same conditions as for Regular officers. Officers attending for short-period training in the ordinary way do not normally have to change their arrangements for the accommodation of their families and accordingly do not receive allowances on this account. I am considering whether any relaxation of this rule would be justifiable in special circumstances.
