§ 89. Mr. POLLOCKasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether Post Office telegraphists who joined and are 1150 now serving in various Territorial units in many cases are being transferred to signal sections of the Territorial Royal Engineers; and, if so, whether they will be entitled on transfer to carry the rank and pay that they at the time of transfer hold in the units they leave, or whether they will be transferred as sappers?
§ Mr. TENNANTSuch transfers are only carried out with the consent of the men affected. Men accepting these transfers join the signal units of the Royal Engineers as sappers, and receive the pay sanctioned for Post Office telegraphists employed in such units.
