HC Deb 22 April 1941 vol 371 c31W
Wing-Commander Wright

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many sailors were in receipt, at the most recent date on which figures are available, of separation allowances in respect of their wives, children or both; for how many wives and how many children were these allowances paid; and what is the total value of the allowances thus paid, giving figures for wives and children separately, if possible?

Mr. Alexander

It would' not be in the public interest to furnish the information requested.
