HC Deb 24 November 1953 vol 521 c13W
25. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Secretary of State for War in view of the extra expenditure the Armed Forces are incurring while serving in the British Army of the Rhine, what steps are being taken to provide them with a local overseas allowance.

Mr. Head

I am satisfied that, at the moment, there is no case for local overseas allowance.
