§ Mr. Godberasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what provision is made for airmen and non-commissioned officers serving in the Middle East to obtain household utensils at reasonable prices when their families join them in these areas; and the comparable arrangements for officers.
Mr. Ward:Royal Air Force married quarters are completely furnished. No official arrangements are made to supply household utensils to officers and airmen who occupy private accommodation but in exceptional circumstances such articles may be stocked by the N.A.A.F.I. The rate of local overseas allowance for officers and airmen occupying private accommodation includes an element for the cost of furnishing.
