MUFTI ALLOWANCE
MINISTER’S STATEMENT TO N.Z.R.S.A.
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, June 10. Replying to the New Zealand Returned Services’ Association on the distinction between men serving at home and those who serve overseas in the matter of mufti allowance, the Minister for Defence (the Hon. F. Jones) states that “in fixing these amounts (£7 10s for home service men and £l2 10s for those who serve overseas), the Government reviewed all aspects of the question, and it can be taken that the allowances approved in each category represent its well-con-sidered opinion." A report issued by the executive committee of the association states that it is unable to extract from this reply why the difference is considered to be necessary. It was decided to make further representations in the matter, and to submit reasons why the two grants should be equal, and further, to request that the mufti grant to home service men should be made retrospective in the case of men who had served continuously Jor 12 months or more before April 1. 1942.
