asked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether he has arranged that National Health Insurance payments due by members of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps serving overseas will be treated in the same way as those of nurses employed by the Army Council?

The conditions under which nurses are employed, at home and abroad, by the Army Council are not the same as those for members of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, and the matter referred to in the question raises certain difficulties upon which I am in communication with the War Office with a view to arriving at a satisfactory solution.
