HC Deb 22 December 1916 vol 88 cc1822-3
39. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that many temporary captains of the Royal Army Medical Corps on active service are receiving higher pay than Regular captains who are their superior officers and who in some cases are in command of the units to which such temporary officers are attached; and whether he will consider the advisability of rectifying this apparent inconsistency?

Mr. FORSTER

The difference in total emoluments is almost negligible and after full consideration it is not considered necessary to disturb the existing arrangements.
