§ Lieut.-Colonel HURSTasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the expediency of paying the quartermasters of Territorial units a rate of remuneration proportionate to their rank and duties; and whether he is aware that whole-time Territorial quartermasters are at present being paid at lower rates than orderly room sergeants?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe present remuneration of quartermasters of Territorial units is considered adequate to their rank and duties; these duties do not occupy the whole of their time outside the period of annual training and they are not paid on a full-time basis.
