WIVES IN FORCES
PAYMENT OF DEFENDANTS' ALLOWANCES.
P.A.
WELLINGTON, Oct. 28.
An assurance that the wife of a soldier still retained her financial rights as a wife if she herself enlisted for service in the armed forces was given by the Minister for Defence, Mr Jones, in reply to an inquiry last night. "A soldier's wife serving in the armed forces is entitled as a right to continue to draw the dependants' allowanoes for which she is ordinarily eligible," said the Minister. "She has this right in the same way as she would have it if she were working in civilian employment or the Public Service. Eligibility for the allowance payable to the wife of a soldier is not withheld because the wife is also in the armed forces."
