HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 c68W
98. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he is taking fully to offset the effects of devaluation on Servicemen serving overseas; and what will be the estimated annual cost to the taxpayers.

Mr. Reynolds

The Local Overseas Allowance of Servicemen serving overseas will be suitably adjusted. It is not yet possible to give an estimate of the total cost of this increase.
