asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether children's allowance is payable to the mother if she is appointed the guardian of her children, the same as is paid to other persons who are appointed guardians of the children of naval ratings?

Mr. DAVIDSON:

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Devonport on the 13th instant. The inquiry promised therein is not yet complete, but I hope to let my hon. and gallant Friend know the result at an early date.
