§ 18. Mr. Ralph Morleyasked the Secretary of State for War if he is now able to announce his decision with regard to the salaries and status of Queen's Army schoolmistresses.
§ Mr. ShinwellRegulations concerning the new rates of pay and improvements in conditions of service for regular Queen's Army schoolmistresses will be published shortly. It has been decided to accord them a status equivalent to that of junior commissioned officers.
§ Mr. MorleyWould my right hon. Friend see that these increases in pay are, when granted, dated back to 1st April, 1948, when the last Burnham award was promulgated?
§ Mr. ShinwellWe had come to that conclusion before it was suggested by my hon. Friend.
