96. Lieutenant-Colonel MALONEasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether any new rates of pay for the Royal Air Force are contemplated; whether the question has yet received Treasury or Government approval; and whether it can be anticipated when the new rates of pay will be published?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (General Seely)Revised rates of pay for officers and men of the Royal Air 915 Force are being considered. Until the detailed rates have been considered by the Government in conjunction with those for the other Services, no definite date for their publication can be stated, but I am aware of the importance of an early settlement.
