Mr Frederick Bellenger

As the answer contains a number of figures I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
The daily rates of lodging, London, and ration allowance for men serving on the permanent staffs of Territorial Army units, as for other members of the Regular forces in London, are as follow:
| Rank | Lodging Allowance | London Allowance | Ration Allowance | |||
| s. | d. | s. | d. | s. | d | |
| Warrant Officer | 5 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 3 | 2 |
| Staff Sergeants and Sergeants. | 3 | 6 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| Corporals and below | 2 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 2 |
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
