HC Deb 02 December 1942 vol 385 c1162
66. Mrs. Cazalet Keir

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any increases in pay have been granted to junior officers of the Women's Royal Naval Service corresponding to the increases recently granted to sub-lieutenants and acting sub-lieutenants of the Royal Navy?

The Civil Lord of the Admiralty (Captain Pilkington)

Yes, Sir. Corresponding increases were promulgated a few days ago. These increases take effect from 1st October, that is, the same operative date as the increases in the Royal Navy. They are as follow: Mobile and Immobile 2nd Officers receive an increase of £25 a year, and Mobile and Immobile 3rd Officers receive an increase of £20 a year. The opportunity has also been taken to remedy an anomaly in the rate of pay of Immobile First Officers, who have been granted an increase of £30 a year.
