§ 13. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether naval officers employed at the Admiralty are on the same footing as regards rations and allowances as military officers employed at the War Office; if not, if he will state the reason; and if he will put a stop to all differentiation in this respect?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe allowances issuable to naval and military officers are governed by distinct and different Regulations, and based on definite considerations. As regards officers attached for duty, respectively, to the War Office and the Admiralty, some are on consolidated pay, some on full pay and allowances. It would be of assistance to me in going into the differentiation between the two Services, which my hon. and gallant Friend obviously desires to have dealt with, if he will state more explicitly the precise point to which he desired to call our attention.
