HC Deb 06 December 1912 vol 44 cc2646-7W
Sir SAMUEL SCOTT

asked the Secretary of State for War in what year the last increase to the pay of officers in the Army was granted?

Mr. HAROLD BAKER

A substantial increase in the pay of lieutenant-colonels commanding units was made in 1907. But if the hon. Member's question refers to an all-round increase of pay to Army officers, I am afraid that I could not answer him without considerable historical research.
