HC Deb 23 January 1941 vol 368 c318W
Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is in accordance with the Service regulations regarding separation allowances, that the wife of a serving man, separated from him by his desertion, may draw an allowance for herself, but is not granted any maintenance allowance in respect of their dependent legitimate children; and what other recourse such a wife has to maintain her family?

Mr. Law

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Rotherham (Mr. Dobbie) on Tuesday last, of which I am sending him a copy.
