HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 c395W
51. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the wives of officers in the defence Forces who wish to live abroad with their husbands are entitled to obtain sufficient foreign exchange for the purpose, or whether they are still subject to the£100per annum maximum; and whether, in view of the desirability of letting as many serving officers as possible have their wives with them, he will make new regulations in regard to this matter at an early date.

Mr. Dalton:

An officers' wife wishing to live abroad with her husband does not need any special foreign exchange concession. The officer may draw all his pay and allowances, if he wishes, at the place where he is serving.
