HC Deb 29 July 1924 vol 176 cc1871-2
20. Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked the Secretary of State for War what are the qualifications which entitle officers of the Royal Army Service Corps to draw corps pay; and whether officers who have passed the technical examination at the Royal Army Service Corps school of instruction at Aldershot are entitled to such pay?

Mr. WALSH

The qualification which entitles an officer of the Royal Army Service Corps to draw corps pay is that he has qualified in the examination for Associate Member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, or in any other examination which the institute accepts as equivalent to their own for the purpose of granting associate membership. The technical examination at the Royal Army Service Corps school of instruction does not qualify for corps pay.
