§ Mr. NIELDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that engineer officers in His Majesty's Navy repudiate the allegation that they received and accepted promotion upon the understanding that they would not receive increase of pay corresponding to the ranks of the executive service; and whether, in view of the services required of and rendered by thorn, he will consider their claim to equal remuneration to that enjoyed by executive officers and to accelerated and commensurate promotion?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI must refer the hon. Member to the replies given to the Noble Lord the Member for Portsmouth on 9th March, 8th and 18th May, and 1st November last.
