§ 57. Mr. PETOasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it has been decided by the Treasury to extend to the Royal Naval Reserve forces the provision of Reserve pay on resuming civilian life now applicable to temporarily commissioned officers in the military forces of the Crown?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThis question is under consideration.
§ Mr. PETOWhen considering it, will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the fact that it is likely to be quite as difficult for officers in the Royal Naval Reserve to resume their civilian occupations as it will be for temporarily commissioned officers in the military forces of the Crown?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWYes, that point will be borne in mind. My answer was that the subject was being carefully considered by the Government.
