§ 108. Mr. S. Marshallasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the Mediterranean allowance to troops of the M.E.F. is 4s. 6d.per day to officers and only 4d.per day to other ranks; and as the allowance to other ranks just covers the cost of a cup of tea and a piece of cake, if he will consider increasing the allowance to them.
§ Mr. LawsonAs the hon. Member will see from paragraph 40 of the White Paper on officers' pay it is proposed to withdraw this allowance and replace it by such other allowance as may be considered necessary, as soon as detailed calculations of requirements can be made.
