Major TERRELLasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that an officer who is appointed acting fourth-class ordnance officer does not get the pay of a fourth-class ordnance officer whilst he is discharging the duties of such an officer; and will he take the necessary steps to procure for acting ordnance officers the pay of the rank in which they are acting?
§ Mr. FORSTERI understand that the officers to whom my hon. and gallant Friend refers are incorrectly described as acting ordnance officers, and I fear I can add nothing to my reply of the 31st ultimo.
