HC Deb 22 August 1940 vol 364 c1491W
Mrs. Adamson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to keep in being in this country all the units of Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve and the Territorial Army Nursing Service which had been organised for service overseas; and whether, when members of these units are loaned from the War Office to the Civil Nursing Reserve they will be paid equal salaries to members of the Civil Nursing Reserve?

Mr. Eden

There are no units of the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve and the Territorial Army Nursing Service. Such personnel form part of the staff of military medical units. The sisters who have volunteered for service under the Ministry of Health and the Department of Health for Scotland, until they are again required for military duty, continue to receive their military pay and allowances at the normal rates while performing duties with the Civil Nursing Reserve.
