asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider issuing marriage allowances to members of the Territorial Army separated legally from their wives, but living with another woman as man and wife, while attending annual camp training.

The abolition of the special dependants' allowance granted during the war in respect of unmarried dependants living as wives was announced in the Post-War Code of Pay, Allowances, etc. (Cmd. 6715), and there is no intention of re-introducing it.
