"Head of the Household"

HC Deb 07 March 1973 vol 852 cc155-6W

Mr. Bishop

asked the Minister of State for Defence what is the practice of his Department, in administrative matters, regarding the definition of the term "Head of the Household" or an equivalent term; and what benefits or allowances are available when the requirements of that status are met.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

The regulations for the issue of pay, allowances and benefits to members of the Armed Forces make no reference to the term "Head of the Household" or any equivalent term. The conditions of service of civilian employees of the Ministry of Defence follow normal Civil Service practice.
