§ Major LLOYD-GREAMEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the rates of pay of officers in the inspection and design branches of the Royal Navy have been settled; and how soon such rates will be published','
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe settlement of suitable rates for these branches has, I am advised, presented considerable difficulties. New rates are now, however, on the point of being laid before the Treasury for sanction, and it is hoped that it will be possible to publish them very shortly.
