Inche Ahmad Bin Ibrahim asked the Chief Secretary whether he will consider paying Housing Allowance to married personnel of the Royal Malayan Navy for the period they remain without accommodation provided by the Royal Malayan Navy, in keeping with similar practice in other Government Departments.

Mr A. A. Williams: Although ratings are permitted to return to their homes when not on duty, they are all, whether married or not, accommodated in ships or in barracks while on duty. The question of Housing Allowance does not therefore appear to arise.
