HC Deb 13 April 1948 vol 449 c54W
21. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will reconsider the existing regulations and arrangements affecting the domestic claims of women against Service men in respect of their legitimate or illegitimate offspring in view of the number of men who evade their financial responsibility.

Mr. Shinwell

These arrangements, which are based on the Army Act, have been most carefully considered and I do not know how it would be possible to improve them.
