§ Sir R. Blairasked the Secretary of State for War (1) whether he will give adjutants of battalions at infantry training centres the acting rank of captain, where this position is held by officers of lower rank, in view of their arduous duties;
(2) whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that officers commanding training centres are receiving a lower standard of command pay than officers commanding battalions; and whether he intends to amend this anomaly in view of the size of some infantry training centres in comparison with infantry battalions;
(3) whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that adjutants of infantry training centres are receiving a lower standard of additional pay than 278W those of adjutants of infantry battalions; and whether he intends to amend this anomaly in view of the size of some of the infantry training centres in comparison with infantry battalions?
