HC Deb 14 March 1940 vol 358 cc1394-5W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state in comparative form the normal scale of rations of French and British infantry soldiers on field service, and the respective scales of pay in shillings and pence per day of private soldiers and of commissioned officers of the lowest rank after deducting Income Tax leviable in each case?

Mr. Stanley

I regret that I am not in possession of the necessary information regarding rations and rates of pay in the case of the French Army.
