§ 8. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the considerable expense incurred by officers and their families who are moved from one station to another in the storage of their furniture while occupying furnished accommodation in a new station because of inability to get unfurnished accommodation; and if he will take the necessary steps to reimburse such cost as is allowed in the Civil Service.
§ Mr. ShinwellThe contribution to be made by public funds towards officers' removal expenses was carefully considered in the light of post-war conditions, and it was decided that payment for storage of furniture from public funds was not justified.
