HC Deb 23 January 1945 vol 407 cc665-6W
Major Markham

asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements have been made for paying married allowances to soldiers' wives who reside in Eire; and how many such allowances are now being paid.

Sir J. Grigg

The arrangements made for the payment of family allowances to soldiers' wives who reside in Eire are the same as those for wives who reside in the United Kingdom: allowance books are issued which may be cashed weekly at a Post Office. I regret that the information asked for in the last part of my hon. and gallant Friend's Question is not readily available.
