§ 85. Mr. H. Brookeasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that, under the new pay scales, the pay of pilot officers who were commissioned from the rank of flight sergeant before 1st September, 1950, is, in some cases, 5s. 6d. a day lower than the pay of those commissioned after that date, and 4s. a day lower than they themselves would now be receiving had they remained in the rank of flight sergeant; and whether he will examine such anomalies with a view to rectifying them.
§ Mr. CrawleyYes, my right hon. Friend is aware of this pay anomaly and action is being taken to rectify it.
