HC Deb 02 July 1924 vol 175 cc1335-6W
Sir C. YATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether, considering that when the pay of officers in India was raised in 1919, in conformity with the raising of the pay of officers at home, the increase was calculated at the rate of 10 rupees to the pound sterling, whereas the increase granted to the rank and file was at the rate of 15 rupees to the pound, the new rates of pay for officers in India that are to be brought into force on the 1st July, 1924, will be calculated on the same rate of exchange as that granted to the men?

Mr. RICHARDS

I regret that I am not at present in a position to state by what method provision will be made for the exchange factor in the forthcoming scales of pay for officers.
