§ MR. LEAMYasked the Secretary of State for War, Why the provision in paragraph 485 of the Royal Warrant of the 25th June 1881, that the pay of Sub-inspector of Army Schools should be the same as that of Quarter-master of Artillery, has not been carried out in India, while the advantages conferred by this Warrant on Quarter-masters, Riding-masters, Non-commissioned Officers, and Privates in India have been conceded; and, whether the Inspectors and Sub-inspectors of Army Schools suffer a loss of status as represented by pay, on transfer from the Home to the Indian Establishment; and, if so, 262 whether this grievance will be remedied?
§ MR. J. K. CROSSThere are no Inspectors of Army schools nor Quartermasters of Artillery in India. Inquiry will be made whether it is desirable to make any change in the existing rates of pay of Sub-Inspectors of Army schools; but I must observe that no representation on the subject has been received from any quarter.
