52. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps he is taking to offset the real reduction in pay suffered by British Service men in Western Germany as a result of the revaluation of the mark; and if he will make the necessary adjustment retrospective to the date of revaluation.

53. Mr. Mayhew

asked the Secretary of State for war what changes he has made in the rates of local overseas allowance payable to troops stationed in Germany, following the revaluation of the Deutschmark.

Mr. Profumo

The revision, as a result of the revaluation of the Deutschmark, of local overseas allowance rates for troops stationed in Germany is still being considered. I shall write to the hon. Gentlemen as soon as a decision has been reached.
