§ COLONEL NORTHsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to carry out the recommendations as regards increased pay, &c, of the Committee which was appointed to inquire into and report upon the grievances of Medical Officers of the Army and Navy; and if there is any objection to lay the Report upon the table of the House?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONsaid, in reply, that the recommendation of the Committee involved not only a considerable increase of pay to medical officers in both services, but questions of the expediency of placing the medical officers of the two services on a different footing. The recommendations of the Committee were receiving due attention, and as soon as a definite decision was arrived at he would communicate the result to the hon. 584 and gallant Member. He did not, however, think that it would be expedient to lay the Report asked for upon the table just now.
