§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is now in a position to state the policy of the Government with regard to the war service gratuity of temporary naval officers?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAMy hon. Friend will be glad to know that, as I stated in my reply to my right hon. Friend the Member for South Molton, temporary naval officers will receive a war service gratuity on the same scale as that granted to temporary officers of the Army, namely, 124 days' pay for the first year of service, and sixty-two days' pay for each succeeding year or part of a year of service.
