HC Deb 08 July 1914 vol 64 cc1082-3W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Fleet Reserve who are called up for the mobilisation of the Fleet will be paid their wages, as the Territorials are, from Government Departments when up for annual drill; and if so, will it be given beyond the bonus of £1 allowed to Fleet Reserve men when called up?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Royal Fleet Reservists employed under the Admiralty do not receive Civil pay for the period when they are called up for the test mobilisation. They receive naval pay in addition to the bonus of £1.
