§ Sir WILLIAM PEARCEasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if the naval men in the base ship "Imperieuse," at Scapa Flow, are to receive full prize money and war gratuity?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAService in His Majesty's Ship "Imperieuse" does not qualify for prize money as she is a non-seagoing ship. Service, however, in a seagoing ship qualifies for prize money, provided the total time amounts to one month. As regards war gratuity, men who have served only on His Majesty's Ship "Imperieuse" are entitled to receive war gratuity based on the home service 55W rate. If, however, they have served at sea in any other vessel, this gratuity will be assessed for the whole of their qualifying war service at the full rate.
