HC Deb 19 November 1941 vol 376 cc355-6W
Mr. Mainwaring

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what are the billeting allowances made to members of the service; and whether they experience any difficulty in obtaining billets at these terms?

Mr. Alexander

Where billets for Naval personnel are requisitioned under the Naval Billeting Act, 1941, payment is made direct to the billetors at specified rates for lodging and attendance and for each meal required. As these rates involve a table of figures I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, have it circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT. Billetors are required by law to provide the billets and are subject to the penalties laid down if they do not comply.
