§ 43. Mr. PERKINSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will state why it is that the pay of motor cyclists varies from 1s. 2d. to 6s. per day, according to the corps; and whether he will arrange for the payment of a standard rate for all Army motor cyclists irrespective of the corps which they join?
Mr. BAKERThe normal rates paid vary with the corps, in accordance with the general principles governing rates of Army pay, and depend on the nature of the work performed. The highest rate was a special rate of 5s. offered since mobilisation to men who were fully trained as motor cyclists before enlistment.
