81. Lieut.-Colonel Sir F. HALLasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry what amount of technical pay, if any, it has been decided to award to technical officers in Class A of the Royal Air Force; whether the same is to be retrospective from the 1st September, 1918, and will include technical officers demobilised before the decision has been arrived at; and, if so, whether an officer who would thus be entitled to additional pay can claim the same together with gratuity based on the larger amount of pay?
§ Major-General SEELYI am not yet able to announce the general scheme of pay for the future, but hope to be able to do so shortly, and will my hon. and gallant Friend defer his question to a later date.
