§ Mr. Platts-Millsasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is in a position to make a statement on the question of the extra pay issuable in respect of service at headquarters of Service Departments, to which reference is made in paragraph 18 of Cmd. 6750.
§ Mr. LawsonIt has been decided that headquarters pay is inappropriate under the new pay code, and it will therefore, not be issuable to male officers after 30th June, 1946. It will, however, remain in issue to members of the Women's Auxiliary Services temporarily as part of the general standstill arrangements. With reference to the note to paragraph 66 (i) of Cmd. 6750, headquarters pay in issue on 30th June, 1946, will be taken into account in determining an officer's "war excess"; the "war excess" will, however, be abated by the amount of such pay when the officer ceases to hold an appointment at the headquarters establishment in accordance with the rule in paragraph 66 (i) of Cmd. 6750.
