9. Mr. J. Wellsasked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty what difference there is between the apparent rank and the actual substantive rank and rates of pay of Admiralty recruiting personnel.
§ Mr. C. Ian Orr-EwingCertain grades in the Recruiting Service, notably the recruiting officer and the recruiter II who are at present dressed respectively as lieutenant, R.N. and chief petty officer, or similar ranks in the Royal Marines, receive a general level of emoluments aligned with those of less senior ranks. This situation has been the subject of a recent review, and I hope to be able to write to my hon. Friend quite soon to give him the details.
