HC Deb 25 June 1947 vol 439 c60W
88. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he is aware of the hardship being caused to officers and other ranks, now serving in Greece, due to the inadequacy of their allowance on account of the present rate of exchange between drachma and sterling; and what action he is taking to remedy this hardship.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

Local allowances for the members of the Royal Air Force stationed in Greece are calculated on the same basis as for the Army, and I would, therefore, refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War.
