HC Deb 19 October 1944 vol 403 c2552W
Colonel Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give and compare with ordinary British rates the family allowances of a soldier from Malta and Jamaica, respectively, whose families are there resident and who is serving outside these islands; and whether he will review the position so as to remove any inequality of treatment.

Sir J. Grigg

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Dewsbury (Mr. Riley) on 28th September. These rates have recently been reviewed and I do not agree that the question should be re-opened.
