§ Captain W. G. HALLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the total number of lieutenants (ex-mate) and mates who are drawing less pay per annum than ex-cadet officers junior to them under the revised pay regulations of 19251?
Mr. ALEXANDERThe number of lieutenants (ex-mate) is 15. The reply as regards mates is "none," since the pay of mates exceeds that of sublieutenants on either scale.
