HC Deb 22 February 1911 vol 21 c1916
Mr. CAMPION

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state for what reason Regular officers appointed adjutants of Territorial infantry prior to 12th July, 1910, are excluded from the receipt of 2s. 6d. per day additional pay?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Haldane)

Will the hon. Member be so good as to refer to a similar question put by the hon. and gallant Member for Bodmin on the 16th instant to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. STAVELEY-HILL

asked what is the rate of additional pay for Regular officers appointed as adjutants of yeomanry, artillery, infantry, and engineers in the Territorial Force before and after 12th July, 1910; and whether the new uniform rate will mean different scales of pay for officers holding similar appointments, and a decrease in the case of yeomanry adjutants?

Mr. HALDANE

Officers of the Regular Forces appointed adjutants of yeomanry before the 12th July, 1910, draw 5s. a day additional pay; those appointed on or after that date draw 2s. 6d. a day. Officers appointed adjutants of artillery, engineers and infantry before 12th July last draw no additional pay: those appointed or extended on or after that date draw 2s. 6d. a day.

Mr. STAVELEY-HILL

Will this apply to all applicants?

Mr. HALDANE

Yes; to all those I have mentioned. They are all of the same scale.
