Mr. DENNIS HERBERTasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the dissatisfaction among civilian acting-paymasters in the Army Pay Department owing to their not being given the gratuity and war bonus which are paid to acting-paymasters who are granted temporary commissions; and whether any reason exists for civilian acting-paymasters thus receiving considerably lower remuneration than commissioned acting-paymasters?
