§ MR. E. COLLINSasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether he can hold out the hope that the position of Marine Pensioners serving as Sergeants on the permanent staff of the Auxiliary Forces will be favourably considered by him, with the view of removing the inequalities which at present exist between them and Army Pensioners, serving in a like capacity, as regards pay and status?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANYes, Sir; the attention of the Departments interested has been directed to the matter referred to by my hon. Friend, and I hope that the inequality complained of will be redressed.
