§ Lieut.-Colonel Macnamaraasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that older boys who have been evacuated cost more to their hosts than younger children; and whether he will, therefore, make an increased allowance for these cases?
§ Miss HorsbrughBilleting allowances in respect of school children of 16 years and upwards were increased to 10s. 6d. per week last October, and as was stated in the reply to the right hon. Member for Wakefield (Mr. Greenwood) on 15th February, of which I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy, the billeting allowances in respect of school children who have attained the age of 14 will also be increased to 10s. 6d. per week from the 2nd March.
