HC Deb 30 July 1974 vol 878 c112W
Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will reconsider the continuation of payment of local overseas allowance to troops from BAOR doing duty in Northern Ireland.

Mr. William Rodgers

No. Payment of the local overseas allowance (LOA) is intended to compensate members of the Forces for the essential extra costs of living abroad.
