TABLE MONEY. (Hansard, 28 June 1922)

15. Vice-Admiral Sir R. HALL
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what is the total estimated saving from the reduction of table money and allowances to flag officers and commodores: and what is the maximum reduction in any one case?

§ Commander EYRES-MONSELL
The estimated saving consequent on the reduction of table money to pre-War rates, which takes effect from the 1st July next is as follows:

Compared with rates in force prior to the 1st April, 1922 £15,650

Compared with rates in force at present £11,900

The corresponding maximum reductions in any one case are £821 and £639 per annum respectively.

Sir R. HALL
Is this the second reduction which has been made this year and is the figure of 800 exclusive of the reduction of 200 already effected in one particular instance?

§ Commander EYRES-MONSELL
On 1st July we shall be back to pre-War rates and that figure is inclusive.

Sir R. HALL
Does the total figure of a single reduction of one officer amount to nearly £1,100 this year?

§ Commander EYRES-MONSELL
No.

Compared with rates in force prior to the 1st April, 1922	£15,650
