§ Commander Galbraithasked the Secretary of State for War the total pay and allowances receivable by an officer of major's rank while serving at the War Office.
§ Sir J. GriggMy hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate that the pay of a major in the War Office varies according to the length of his service, the arm of the Service to which he belongs and the nature of his appointment. But, to give an example, a major drawing combatant rates of pay in a non-technical appointment with less than 22 years' commissioned service receives £648 a year in all. The allowances which such an officer draws also depends on a number of factors. If he is unmarried he probably receives £192 a year in addition to his pay. Further allowances are payable under the normal rules if he is married and if he has children.
