§ 95. Mr. Doddsasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the dissatisfaction at the low rates of pay to the British troops in Korea in comparison with the Service men of the other United Nations Forces fighting alongside them; and if he will give consideration to altering this state of affairs.
§ 107. Mr. Burdenasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the pay of British Service men in Korea compares unfavourably with that of men serving in other United Nations organisation units there; and if he will review the position immediately.
§ Mr. HeadIt is a fact that British rates of pay are lower than most United Nations contingents in Korea. The British.pay and allowance code is, however, based on the principle that troops receive the same rates of pay wherever they are called upon to serve and whatever tasks they have to perform.
