HC Deb 17 November 1944 vol 404 cc2261-2W
Miss Ward

asked the Secretary of State for War whether A.T.S. officers serving in the U.S.A. and the Middle East are being paid two-thirds of the pay of the Army in all ranks as well as full allowances with the exception of batmen.

Sir J. Grigg

As regards the Middle East I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave her yesterday. In the U.S.A. the A.T.S. officers as a rule draw consolidated allowances which are based on the necessary expenses of living in the U.S.A. as a member of the Military Mission. They therefore differ owing to the differing expenditures of male and female officers. In other respects the answer to my hon. Friend's Question is, generally speaking, "Yes."
