HC Deb 16 June 1915 vol 72 c657
17. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that orderly room quartermaster-sergeants, a rank given in certain cases of seniority to orderly room sergeants, are not receiving the extra pay and pension of quartermaster-sergeant's rank as warrant officer, second class; and, in view of the important battalion duties required of officers in the orderly room, will he consider the advisability of granting the same concessions in both cases?

Mr. FORSTER

It was decided, after careful consideration, not to include orderly room quartermaster-sergeants in the list of appointments, the holding of which qualifies for the new rank of warrant officer, second class, and they are ineligible for any of the financial conditions attaching to such rank.
