Sir W: RUTHERFORDasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any and. if so, what arrangements have now been made, and when they will take effect, for removing the comparatively -unfair treatment of the Royal Army Medical Corps officers who were in the Territorial Force and placing them on a reasonable basis of equality as regards position, pay, and promotion with the Royal Army Medical Corps officers who were not in the Territorial Force?
§ Mr. FORSTERThis question was fully considered by the Cabinet Committee on Officers' Pay, and it was decided not to make the change proposed. These Territorial officers get the same emoluments as Regular officers and, like them, will get the new children's allowances at full rates in the junior ranks, while the officers serving under special contract will get half rates only.
