§ SIR EDWARD GROGANsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if it be intended to carry into effect the spirit of the late Naval Warrant as regards Medical Officers in the Navy by granting to these officers when serving afloat naval rank, and uniform with the distinctive badges of rank, corresponding to the military rank granted to them by this Warrant, both afloat and when serving with Her Majesty's Forces ashore?
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGETsaid, the terms of the Navy Warrant had been carried out with regard to the pay and the rank of these officers, and with regard to the uniform, the Admiralty were only waiting until the decision of the House in reference to the increase of pay of Masters and Engineers had taken effect before taking it into their consideration.
