HC Deb 09 July 1918 vol 108 c145
15. Colonel Sir ROBERT WILLIAMS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the scale of pay, pensions, and allowances for Army chaplains is greatly below that for either the medical or the veterinary services, and if he will take steps for the removal of such inequalities?

Mr. FORSTER

The inequality to which my hon. and gallant Friend alludes is of old standing. It is also to be found in the emoluments of gentlemen of the several professions in civil life, but, in any case, I think it could not be made the ground for a revision of the pay and allowances of the chaplains.
