HC Deb 29 April 1947 vol 436 c198W
67. Mr. Carson

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that rates of pay for men and women civil servants are differentiated by reason of sex, he will reduce the charges made to women for accommodation in hostels occupied by evacuated and other Government staffs.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

These charges are not standardised but are normally based on running costs. To prevent hardship, certain staff of both sexes, living away from home are given special allowances.
