HC Deb 02 July 1918 vol 107 c1559
39. Major NEWMAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if any salary, and, if so, its amount, is attached to the various recruiting appointments which are from time to time notified as being made by the Irish Government; and will he say if the gazetting to military rank of civilians to aid in Irish recruiting carries with it the regulation pay and emoluments?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Samuels)

Salaries will be paid in the case of some of the appointments to the staff of the Irish Recruiting Council, although most of those who are acting are doing so voluntarily. The personnel of the staff and the salaries that may be paid to its civilian and military members have not been yet fully arranged.

Major NEWMAN

If an hon. Member or anybody else is gazetted a colonel for Irish recruiting purposes, is he paid the full salary of a colonel?

Mr. SAMUELS

The arrangements have not been fully completed yet.

Mr. PRINGLE

Is the appointment made without any stipulation as to salary?
