§ Mr. Leachasked the Minister of Health why a differential figure is fixed for billet money for evacuated teachers on duty who receive 5s. weekly compared to the 21s. received by civil servants in like circumstances?
§ Mr. ElliotThe householder on whom a teacher who voluntarily accompanies his school is billeted is only called upon to provide lodging. The teacher may remain so billeted during his stay. If a civil servant is billeted for lodging only the householder would similarly be paid 5s. per week. The payment to a householder of 21s. per week for a billeted civil servant compulsorily evacuated with his Department covers the cost of certain meals and lodging, and is subject to review after a limited period.
