§ Sir B. FALLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty by what authority a vacancy for a dockyard labourer in the 364W photographic department has been posted on the notice board of H.M.S. Vernon stating that the pay, in addition to pension, starts at 35s. per week; and whether this is in accordance with Item 53 of Command Paper 149, of 1919, the Report of the Jerram Committee?
§ Mr. AMMONThe notice referred to was not intended to imply that the pension was taken into account in assessing the wages for the civilian post; and the merely informative reference to pension does not conflict with the statement in the Command Paper. The "bonus" of 14s. a week is payable in addition to the rate stated.
