§ Mr. Masonasked the Secretary of State for War to what extent Service men serving in Germany have been affected by the revaluation of the deutschmark; 138W and what steps have been taken by his Department to offset any adverse differences in pay and allowances this may have caused.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe revaluation of the deutschmark has made purchases on the German market about 5 per cent. dearer for servicemen. But most of them spend a proportion of their pay with N.A.A.F.I. and N.A.A.F.I. have made arrangements which reduce their prices by 3½ per cent. Money spent in the United Kingdom is not affected by the revaluation. Adjustment of local overseas allowances is being considered.
