§ Wing-Commander Wrightasked the Secretary of State for Air, how many airmen 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?
