§ Lord C. BERESFORDasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that quartermaster-sergeants of the Household Cavalry, Cavalry of the Line, Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery receive less pay than quartermaster-sergeants m other branches of the Service; and, seeing that the duties in each case are similar and the qualifications, so far as being in possession of a first-class certificate of education, are the same, whether he will take steps to increase the pay of these sergeants?
§ Colonel SEELYI am sending the Noble Lord a paper showing the rates of pay of the various branches and arms of the Service, from which he will see that in some cases the pay of the quartermaster-sergeants referred to is less, and in some more than that of other arms.
