HC Deb 01 November 1939 vol 352 c1955W
Sir G. Fox

asked the Secretary of State for Air why marriage allowances are not granted to officers in the Royal Air Force as they are in the Army and Navy; and how the payments which are made, presumably on compensatory lines, compare with the financial advantages in the other two services?

Sir K. Wood

Allowances to married officers in the Royal Air Force and in the Army are paid under the same conditions and at the same rates. Allowances in the Navy differ slightly to accord with naval conditions of service.
