§ 12. Mr. Nieldasked the Secretary of State for War what percentage of married soldiers in the Regular Army are accommodated in married quarters; and what allowances are made to compensate those for whom married quarters are not available.
§ Mr. ShinwellAt present approximately 27 per cent. of married soldiers have their families living with them in married quarters. No compensation is paid to soldiers for whom married quarters are not available; they do not of course pay the charges for rent, furniture, fuel and light which are paid by soldiers occupying married quarters.
