§ Captain Mott-Radclyffeasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in the application of the National Service Order in Council (Egypt), he will take steps to remove the existing discrimination in respect of the rates of family allowances against persons of Cypriot and Maltese origin as compared with those of United Kingdom origin, in view of the fact that all these communities are living in Egypt and that the cost of living is therefore identical.
§ Sir J. GriggThe rates of family allowance of Maltese and Cypriots in Egypt are related to the circumstances of these families and I am not aware that they are inappropriate.
