HC Deb 06 November 1918 vol 110 cc2078-9
3. Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, seeing that schoolmasters, Royal Navy, are unaffected by the recent published changes in the pay and status of warrant officers, Royal Navy, he can say when the scheme which has been under consideration by their lordships for some months for the improvement in pay and status of schoolmasters, Royal Navy, will be promulgated?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I am afraid I cannot say more than that the matter is under consideration.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

When does the right hon. Gentleman think the consideration will be brought to a conclusion?

Dr. MACNAMARA

It is not in our hands alone; there are other Departments. I should like to see it concluded at the earliest possible date so far as I am concerned.
