HC Deb 20 April 1915 vol 71 c185
74. Mr. RUPERT GWYNNE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will state the number of commissions which have been granted from the ranks in the Army Pay Corps for the nine months previous to August, 1914, and nine months since?

Mr. BAKER

The number of such commissions granted was five for the nine months previous to August, 1914, and twenty-five for the nine months following.

Mr. GWYNNE

Is the number of commissions granted in this branch of the Service equivalent to the number granted to the Army Service Corps and other branches of the Service?

Mr. BAKER

I could not possibly answer that without notice.

75. Mr. GWYNNE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will state what is the pay received by sergeants of the Army Pay Corps; and what is the pay of the clerks working under them?

Mr. BAKER

The pay of the sergeants is with one exception 3s. 6d. or 4s., and the pay of clerks enlisted for the war, to whom the hon. Member presumably refers, is 3s. 6d. or 4s. These temporary clerks have no pension rights.
