HC Deb 18 February 1948 vol 447 cc222-3W
Mr. McEntee

asked the Minister of Defence what annual amounts were payable or paid during the war, and during the postwar period, respectively, in respect of separation allowances to dependants in Eire of personnel in His Majesty's Armed Forces.

Mr. Alexander

Payments to dependants in Eire are not recorded separately by the Service Departments; I am, however, having inquiries made which may enable me to give a rough estimate of the sums involved. I hope to write to my hon. Friend about this shortly.
