§ Sir R. Glynasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if temporary Reserve 278W officers who have not volunteered for further service are being paid the rates of pay, with war service increments added, up to the date of their discharge; and why officers discharged after 30th June next will suffer a reduction in pay and allowances which would not be applicable to officers demobilised before 1st July.
Mr. Duģdale:Temporary reserve officers who are dispersed to leave on or before 30th June, 1946, will receive pay and war service increments under the present pay code. Those serving on the 1st July, 1946, will, in common with other classes of officers, come under the new pay code. The operation of the "War Excess" rule will, as stated in the White Paper (Command 6750) prevent any officer's emoluments being reduced on the introduction of the new code.
