HC Deb 22 January 1924 vol 169 c701W
Captain TERRELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if the readjustment of the Army and Navy pay tables automatically becomes due on or after 1st July next; and what is the attitude of the Ministry in respect to the carrying out of this understanding?

Mr. GWYNNE

Under Army Order 324 of 1919, the increased rates of pay of officers announced therein are subject to adjustment after five years, to the extent of a maximum of 20 per cent., in accordance with variations in the cost of living; and the rates will be adjusted accordingly from 1st July, 1924. As regards the Navy, the question should be addressed to the First Lord of the Admiralty.
