HC Deb 28 June 1880 vol 253 cc957-8
MR. GORST

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether his attention has been called to the existing anomalies with respect to the rating, pay, and duties of the Naval artificers; and, whether the Admiralty will institute inquiries into the matter with the view of revising the present "non-progressive" system?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE,

in reply, said, that the attention of the Admiralty had not been directed to the subject referred to by the hon. and learned Member. The rates of pay depended on different circumstances, and it was not intended to make any change.
