HC Deb 07 May 1919 vol 115 cc939-40W
Major COURTHOPE

asked the Secretary of State for War what salary is now being paid to Captain Fricker, employed as a whole-time officer of the Sussex County Territorial Force Association; and for what reason the repealed recommendations of the association as to this officer's salary have been ignored?

Mr. FORSTER

Captain Fricker's salary is £150 a year, and in addition the Sussex Territorial Force Association may pay him a war bonus at the rate of £60 a year. The salaries of officers of Territorial Associations are subject, under Regulation, to the control of the Army Council; and the action of the War Office in this case has been guided by the salaries paid under similar circumstances by other associations. The correspondence on the question is, however, not yet completed.
