§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the War Council have considered the grievance under which the Territorial Force officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps labour in spite of all their pre-War service in receiving rates of pay and gratuity less than temporary Royal Army Medical Corps officers; whether the War Council have further considered the favourable Report of the Committee of 1917, recommending that the position in regard to pay, allowances, and gratuities of officers in the Royal Army Medical Corps belonging to the Territorial Force and Special Reserve should be equalised with that of temporary officers when they would gain thereby; and, if so, what steps the Army Council proposes to take?
§ Mr. FORSTERI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave on the 21st February last to my hon. Friend the Member for the West Derby Division of Liverpool.
