§ SIR F. BANBURY (City of London)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will sanction pay and separation allowances, according to their former rank in the Volunteers, to those non-commissioned officers in the London Engineers who have transferred their services from the Volunteers to the Territorial Army and have been reduced in rank.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. ACLAND,) Yorkshire, RichmondIt is not clear to what unit the hon. Baronet is referring. Under paragraph 79, Part I., Army Order, 18th March, 1908, every non-commissioned officer in a transferred unit is entitled to retain his rank in his own unit, and while he retains his rank he receives the pay of that rank. If the hon. Baronet will give specific instances I will have inquiry made.
