§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, inasmuch as the special list mentioned in Admiralty Monthly Order 3,802/18 and the appointments in connection therewith have now been in existence for rather more than three years, and the allowance for which has now been embodied in King's Regulations, 13, Appendix I, and that schoolmasters have been continuously carrying out the duties of these appointments, he will now cause steps to be taken to ensure that such officers are paid the special list allowance of 1s. per day as from the date of its institution, observing that the advance course mentioned in the same Order has never materialised, and that these officers are doing the work notwithstanding the fact that they are still prevented from passing the advanced course?
§ Mr. AMERYThe special allowance referred to has been under consideration in conjunction with revised conditions of pay and promotion for the Schoolmaster Branch. It is hoped to make an announcement on this subject shortly.
