§ Major HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that officers and ratings serving in vessels employed in certain areas may be paid climate pay during certain periods 951W at the following rates: commissioned and commissioned warrant officers 3s. a day, warrant and subordinate officers 1s. a day, and the rest of the ship's company 6d. a day; and whether, seeing that all are alike subject to the same health risks, he can see his way to grant to all the sum of 3s. a day climate pay?
Mr. DAVIDSONI am aware of the different rates referred to, but I consider that it is only fair that allowances should vary in some proportion to the rank and status of the individual.
