HC Deb 16 February 1914 vol 58 c607W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Secretary for War what, under the present scale, is the pay of a captain of more than twelve years' service in the Royal Horse Artillery, and what is the pay which he will receive on promotion to a majority in the Royal Field Artillery?

Colonel SEELY

A captain, Royal Horse Artillery, after twelve years' service and three years in the rank of captain, will receive 18s. a day under the new scale. The rate assigned to a major, Royal Field Artillery, with less than twenty-four years' total service is 16s. This apparent anomaly has been brought to my notice officially, and is now under consideration.
