§ Mr. HOODasked the Secretary for War whether there were 719 officers attached to the Supply and Transport Corps of the Indian Army during the War, many of whom were British Service officers; how many of the 719 were paid at the Indian rate of pay and how many at the British rate of pay; whether any of the 62 trained Royal Army Service Corps officers, horse transport, motor transport, and supplies attached to the Supply and Transport Corps officers of the Indian Army, and lent from England, were paid the Indian rate of pay and how many were paid the British rate of pay; and what were the grounds for the discrimination?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe figures quoted are approximately correct. As far as is known, all the attached officers 899W received the Indian rate of pay. The Royal Army Service Corps officers received a special rate of pay until September, 1919, after which date they drew the Indian Army rate.
