§ 19. Captain Pluggeasked the Secretary of State for War in what circum stances the War Office has decided that service in the Regular Army Reserve of Officers should not count for increment; and in what circumstances members of the Regular Army Reserve of Officers recalled for service are being treated for pay pur- 559 poses as if they had just been commissioned, their Reserve service being ignored?
§ Mr. StanleyIn general, only full-time service counts for increments of pay granted in respect of length of service, and service in the Regular Army Reserve of Officers, during which no duty is performed, does not, therefore, count for this purpose. An officer recalled from the Regular Army Reserve of Officers therefore reckons for increments of pay the service which he rendered before going to the Reserve and any service which he renders while now re-employed, but not the period which he spent in the Reserve.
